Seated Woman 1879

"Seated Woman" (1879), by Paul Cézanne, is a portrait of a woman in a blue blouse, seated with her arms crossed. Cézanne, a Post-Impressionist painter, is famous for his use of color and form. The woman is depicted against a blurred background in hues of blues and yellows, creating a sense of depth and volume. The geometric, almost block-like forms, are typical of Cézanne's style, contributing to a sense of solidity and monumentality. The painting exemplifies Cézanne's exploration of the relationship between form and color, influencing future generations of artists.
