PAUL CÉZANNE - THE PAINTERS’ PAINTER

PRESENTED BY IAN SWANKIE

One of the world’s most influential painters, and considered to be the father of modern art, Paul Cézanne produced a vast body of work. We’ll look at his life, his mind bending still life paintings, his depictions of his beloved Provence, and his portraits. Possibly the best vote of confidence in his genius is the number of famous artists who bought paintings by Cézanne and treated him as a role model.
