100 paintings from around the world join the extraordinary exhibition conceived by Denis Coutagne, President of the Société Paul Cézanne, to be exhibited for three years in Aix-en-Provence, the birthplace of the cezanne family.
Born in France, he studied painting at the Swiss Academy and forged links with the future Impressionists. In 1886, Zola, his friend Zola, dates him, uses him as a model to describe a failed painter. This is the end of their long friendship. On the other hand, he still has a very good relationship with Pissarro, whom he worships as a master: he works with him for two years but in 1877, he splits off from this movement. His research made him the precursor of cubism: drawing and colour became inseparable from the arrangement of the painting, which was organized from the inside.
