Art critic and historian, gave Cézanne some of his earliest acclaim. In 1900 Marx lobbied for three of Cézanne’s paintings to be included at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1904 Marx wrote a positive review of Cézanne for the Salon d’Automne. This exhibition was influenced the young Fauve painters, who were particularly impressed with Cézanne’s use of thick paint and use of the palette knife.
