Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago holds 12 works by Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Cézanne is often called the father of modern art for his methodical deconstruction of form and space — the geometric approach that directly inspired Cubism. He spent most of his career in his native Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, painting the same landscapes and motifs obsessively across decades.
