A Study on Architectural Form Characteristics of Paul Cezanne’s Cubism in Landscape Paintings

The purpose of this study is to define the characteristics of regional architecture shown in the landscape paintings of Paul Cézanne, who is called the father of modern art, and then to think over the form of regional house in Korea modern architecture. The subject of the study focuses on landscape paintings depicting landscapes among Paul Cézanne's post-impressionist works. The research contents are, first, to understand the landscape structural and cubical characteristics of primary psyche-scene landscapes in his thoughts and insight, and second, to understand the characteristics of regional architecture depicted in his landscape paintings. In this study, characteristics of color in his pictures were excluded, and I attempted to find the origins of pure cube, then tried to pull out the cubical from from Korean regional architecture. The research results are summarized as follows. First, more than 54.7% of Paul Cézanne's paintings are post-impressionism, and the fact that he chose landscapes as the subject of his paintings can be explained to show the value of primary psycho-scene. Second, the building depicted in Paul Cézanne's painting is a pure cube as bastide and mas that are local houses in the Aix-en-Provence region in southern France. Third, Korean cubical flat style of house in the village comes from De Stijl that was provided the concept of Cubism and Mondrian’s neo-plasticism.
