From the 1890s until his death in 1906, Cézanne continued to live a solitary and hugely productive life. He painted Provençal scenes in an ever-broader, summarizing style, aided by studies in watercolor. He returned to ambitious figural subjects that had occupied him intermittently for years: groups of nude bathers in landscapes, local men playing cards, even subjects from classical antiquity. His last portraits, almost all of local people, are full of sober empathy. Solo exhibitions in Paris in 1895 and 1907 finally revealed to the public, and to younger artists, the greatness of his work. Pablo Picasso remarked that, thereafter, “Cézanne’s influence gradually flooded everything.” Henri Matisse called him “father of us all.”
