He went to school in Aix, forming a close friendship with the novelist Emile Zola. He also studied law there from 1859 to 1861, but at the same time he continued attending drawing classes. In 1861 joined Zola in Paris, where he met Camille Pissarro and came to know others of the impressionist group, with whom he would exhibit in 1874 and 1877. Cézanne, however, remained an outsider to their circleCézanne was a contemporary of the impressionists, but he went beyond their interests in the individual brushstroke and the fall of light onto objects.

1. The dark period, Paris, 1861-1870His work from this period differs sharply from his earlier watercolours. Among the works of his dark period were paintings such as The Murder, the words antisocial or violent are often used.
2.Impressionist period, Provence and Paris, 1870-1878
Under Pissarro's influence Cézanne began to abandon dark colours and his canvases grew much brighter.
Jas de Bouffan, 1876.
3. Mature period, Provence, 1878-1890
In the early 1880s the Cézanne family stabilized their residence in Provence.,
The move reflects a new independence from the Paris-centered impressionists and a marked preference for the south.

Bathers, (1898-1905).,
Still Life with a Curtain (1895) illustrates Cezanne's increasing trend towards terse compression of forms and dynamic tension between geometric figures.
Cézanne's paintings were shown in the first exhibition of the Salon des Refusés in 1863.
Before 1895 Cézanne exhibited twice with the Impressionists.
In later years a few individual paintings were shown at various venues.
He concentrated on a few subjects and was highly unusual for 19th-century painters in that he was equally proficient in each of these genres: still lifes, portraits, landscapes and studies of bathers.

Paul Cezanne was born out of marriage and his son also was illegitimate child.
The contemporaries nicknamed his «A hermit from Aix», because he was very rude and gloomy person, unsociable and a lonely workaholic. His studio was always in mess. There were lots of brushes, tubes, muddy plates and saucepans with vermicelli drying on them!

The French painter Paul Cézanne, who exhibited little in his lifetime and pursued his interests increasingly in artistic isolation, is regarded today as one of the great forerunners of modern painting, both for the way that he evolved of putting down on canvas exactly what his eye saw in nature and for the qualities of pictorial form that he achieved through a unique treatment of space, mass, and color.
