The transition artist

Yesterday was Cezanne's "birthday". Here's a chance to learn something new about the artist which ended up having an impact on art history. He may not be so famous as Monet and certainly not like Picasso. But what you might not know: he was  a  bridge builder creating the path from impressionism to cubism. Paving the way for... yes Picasso which were an early admirer of Cezanne's work.
