PAUL CEZANNE
His use of color was more restrained. He applied color in distinct patches or strokes, using a palette of muted and earthy tones, which gave his paintings a sense of solidity and depth.
Paul Cezanne
was a pioneer in exploring multiple perspectives within a single composition. He would depict an object or scene from various angles simultaneously, challenging traditional notions of spatial representation.
Paul Cezanne
His paintings often contain symbolic elements. For example, the sunflowers in his series are seen as symbols of friendship and the fleeting nature of life, while the cypress tree represents death and eternity.
Vincent Van Gogh
is renowned for his vivid and expressive use of color. He often used bold, intense hues to convey emotions and moods, with a preference for vibrant yellows, blues, and reds. His color choices often reflected his own emotional states.
Vincent Van Gogh
