Why do you think that Cezanne is so important in art history? Be descriptive and thoughtful like an art historian.
I think he was very imporyant to art history because he was believed to have started modern art. He had a unique method with using color and his approach to nature influenced the art of Cubism.


Often called the Father of Modern Art, Cézanne continually developed as an artist. He limited his contact with fellow artists (notably the Impressionists) in order to pursue his own studies of form and color and developed a marvelous, unique style of painting. His preferred subject matter was either still life or landscape (which lent themselves more easily to color studies), although he occasionally rendered humans.(About.com)
