Description:
Between ca. 1878 and 1882 Cézanne moved away from the style of other Impressionist painters in search of greater structure, where flat areas of color in large, geometric brushstrokes cover the surface of the canvas. Though he considered the study of nature essential to painting, he nevertheless opposed many aspects of the Impressionist aesthetic. Believing color and form to be inseparable, he tried to emphasize structure and solidity in his work, features he thought neglected by Impressionism.
