Abstract
This text is the result of a research oriented to search the foundations in which the idea of Paul Cezanne as founder of modern painting was rooted. We propose that the position granted to Cezanne was the work of a projection made by symbolist critics that articulated the early interpretations of Cezanne’s ouvre. In others words, it can be said that the symbolist discourse the one that attributed the paternity of modern painting to the provenzal painter by means of applying certain symbolist’s ideas to his painting, although these were substantially different from those that Cezanne himself defended. This way, it is possible to explain how a painter that defended the importance of the natural model was put in an inaugural place of a kind of painting characterized as detached from the model of nature.
