A journey through the work of Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), a major figure long misunderstood and today recognised as one of the foundations of modern painting.
From his dark and tormented beginnings to his final visions on the edge of abstraction, Cézanne never stopped seeking to reconcile sensation and structure, in order to reveal on canvas the profound order of the real. Still lifes, portraits and landscapes of Provence bear witness to this stubborn quest for harmony. For Cézanne, seeing was an intense, almost burning experience: a fiery gaze that transformed our way of apprehending the world.
An event echoing the exhibition « Cézanne et nous » presented at the Grand Palais (23 September 2026 – 17 January 2027), devoted to the decisive legacy of the painter.
