I don´t have a favourite artist, but now I´m interested very much to the french painter Paul Cézanne. Cézanne was a post-impressionist artist and he influenced all the art production following. He would be considered the father of 20th century art. His major contribution was the geometrical simplification and, the most important, the multiple perspective or Cézanne perspective: we can find in one of his paints a frontal perspective, a zenithal perspective, a lateral perspective and so on. This two characteristic will be represented in the cubism, in Braque and Picasso for example. I would like show you this paint:
it's called "The Kitchen Table". Aparently this paint is very simple, this paint represented a ordinary theme: a kitchen table with different fruits and kitchen objects. But, if you look well, the layout of the objects is weird. Is imposible find this objects in the real life in this way. And this is the important issue of this paint, it's a paint, no the real life. This is the modern operation of Cézanne, his perspective deny the illusion that until this moment prevailed. For all this things, I like Cézanne, he opened the road for all the artists next, specially to the avant-garde artists.
