Cezanne, Paul

The violent dramatic style of Cezanne revealed in his early works took a turn after coming under the influence of Pissarro a leading Impressionist at that time.
Cezanne worked very slowly which one old peasant noted while he by chance came upon Pissarro and Paul at work. After watching them for a while the old peasant remarked to Pissarro, ”Well sir, you have an assistant here who does absolutely nothing.”
