What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Cézanne emphasized formal aspects of painting at the expense of subject matter and thus looked forward to the formalism and abstraction of the twentieth century.
2. In Still Life with Cherries and Peaches, the peaches and the cherries are seen from different viewpoints, influencing Cubist painting.
3. In Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Viaduct of the Arc River Valley, space is collapsed by making formal correspondences between foreground and background.
4. In the Large Bathers, the body is oversimplified with an emphasis on geometric shapes and structures.
