About This DVD
Paul Cézanne is widely acknowledged to be the ‘father’ of Modern Art. Far from Paris, in the South of France, his obstinacy as man and artist made him a pioneer of a new way of seeing. Returning always to the same subjets – the Mont Sainte-Victoire, bathing figures, or still lifes – he abandoned central perspective, distorted body-shapes and broke all the traditional rules of landscape painting.

This fascinating film examines many of Cézanne’s works in detail and draws on the observations of a wide range of historians and commentators, including artists Howard Hodgkin, R. B. Kitaj and Bridget Riley, critic John Golding and the artist’s grand-daughter, Aline Cézanne. Location filming in and around Cézanne’s home town of Aix-en-Provence, and archive photographs are also used to illustrate this study of Cézanne’s life and work.
