Paul Cézanne’s First Solo Exhibition
The exhibition at Ambroise Vollard’s gallery in Paris was significant for establishing Cézanne as a major artist of his time. The exhibition introduced Cézanne’s innovative style of using simplified forms and flattened space, laying the groundwork for the development of modern art’s journey to abstraction and movements such as Cubism.
