Paul Cezanne was an artist with fame, who lived from 1839 to 1906. He was famous because his work was the first to show cubism art.
Paul was born in Aix-en-Provence, France in 1839. His personality was emotional. His Dad wanted him to have a lawyer, but Paul convinced him to let him be an artist.
Cezanne went to Paris to paint, but he was not happy because people didn't like his art, so he went to work for his Dad as a banksman. Paul thought he had fixed his mistake, but actually he had made another mistake. While Paul worked as a banksman he started to hate it, so he gave painting another chance.
He moved back to Paris to be around other artists. Then he met a girl and fell inlove with her. They got together and had a son, but Paul and his girlfriend didn't marry until their son was 14. Paul didn't want his Dad to know about this, because it was not respectable back then and he feared his Dad would take Paul's allowance. Paul did tell his Dad eventually, but his Dad got over it.
When Paul was 47, a close childhood friend of his, Emile Zola, who was a famous writer, wrote a story about a failed artist, which sounded just like Paul. So Paul broke up with his friend.
Paul Cezanne passed away in 1906. Paul's art continued to be famous from then until now. It's studied and admired all around the world by artists.

His pictures look a little disjointed. I would get a headache looking at them.
You'd think he would be proud that his friend Emile Zola wrote about him. He would be more famous.
I wonder if your parents would give you an allowance when you have a family!
Hmmm I wonder if they will give me an allowance.
