保罗·塞尚（Paul Cézanne，1839—1906）法国著名画家，是后期印象派的主将，从19世纪末便被推崇为“新艺术之父”，作为现代艺术的先驱，西方现代画家称他为“现代艺术之父”、“造型之父”或“现代绘画之父”。

他对物体体积感的追求和表现，为“立体派”开启了思路；塞尚重视色彩视觉的真实性，其“客观地”观察自然色彩的独特性大大区别于以往的“理智地”或“主观地”观察自然色彩的画家。

Paul Cézanne(1839-1906), a famous French painter, was the master of the late impressionists. Since the end of the 19th century, he was praised as the "father of new art" as a pioneer of modern art. Western modern painters called him "the father of modern art," "the father of modeling," or "the father of modern painting."

His pursuit and performance of the volume of objects opened up the idea of "Cubism"; Cezanne attaches importance to the authenticity of color vision, and its "objective" observation of the uniqueness of natural colors is greatly different from the painters who used to observe natural colors "sensibly" or "subjectively".
