The father figure
Paul Cézanne

He stopped trying to catch the fleeting light the Impressionists chased and went looking for the bones underneath it, building a landscape out of patches of color the way a mason lays stone. Matisse and Picasso both called him the father of us all, and they meant it: the road to Cubism runs straight through his apples and his mountain.
