One of Paul Cezanne’s exquisite paintings was that of Mount Sainte-Victoire. Dating back to around 1902, Cezanne’s “mount of holy victory” painting has many unique characteristics that make it unlike other paintings of that time. Cezanne’s style encompasses many aspects of modernism within it. Modernism is the idea that the world is represented by experiences, rather than as one may have thought it to previously be. In this work of art, Cezanne uses a few contrasting colors and creates several implied lines that draw the eye to notice the volumes in which the space is filled. He uses color in the way in which it constructs a three dimensional view, while constructing form. Cezanne had a unique process of painting that did not reflect nature.
