The House with the Cracked Walls 1892 - 1894

Paul Cézanne's "The House with the Cracked Walls" (1892-1894) is an oil painting showcasing the artist's signature Post-Impressionist style. The painting features a crumbling house perched on a rocky hillside, with a dramatic crack splitting the facade. Cézanne's use of bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and geometric forms creates a sense of depth and texture, reflecting his interest in simplifying forms and exploring the relationship between color and light. This iconic piece, with its evocative depiction of decay and the passage of time, is characteristic of Cézanne's later works and exemplifies his influence on early 20th-century art.
