The Card Players by Paul Czanne (1000 Piece) Puzzle

Details:

Paul Czanne (1839-1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter, credited with forming the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and early 20th century Cubism. Czannes characteristic repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are recognizable along with his use of bold colors in the formation of complex fields.

In Czanne’s mature work there is a distinct, architectural style of painting; the simplification of naturally occurring forms to their geometric essentials. While Czanne’s works were rejected numerous times by the Paris Salon and ridiculed by critics, Czanne was considered a master by younger artists. With its sense of immediacy and incompletion, Czannes style influenced Matisse and others prior to Fauvism and Expressionism.
