| Aix en Provence, Paul
Cezanne's home town |
Paul Cézanne
is unquestionably the Aix's most famous personality. After a period of
Romanticism,
he discovered Impressionism and then invented “a new art”,
of which he called himself “the primitive”.
His quest for expression is revealed through his series of works: portraits,
still life, landscapes, and
bathers. Painted in oil or watercolour, they all reveal the work of an
obstinate craftsman. He may
have left the town of Aix, but he came back stronger.
