Description
Paul Cezanne counts as the father of modern painting. 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 subjects - the Mont Sainte-Victoire, bathing figures, or still life's - he abandoned central perspective, distorted body-shapes and broke all the traditional rules of landscape painting. Aided by experts, and descendants of the artist, Matthew Collings gives a thorough introduction to Cezanne's life and work, exploring the lifelong artistic quest of the man whom Picasso called "my only master". a Film by Janice Sutherland.
