In honor of the French Post-Impressionist painter’s birthday (Jan. 19, 1839), we thought it might be nice to post a slideshow of some of his works. Perhaps they’ll inspire some of your own projects this weekend, as they did for a certain well-known writer:

“I was learning something from the painting of Cézanne that made writing simple true sentences far from enough to make the stories have the dimensions that I was trying to put in them.” —Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Enjoy!
