Considered the father of modern art, Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) has too often been presented as a solitary, shy, grumpy, sometimes rude man, who disliked social gatherings or honors, with only one imperative: painting. But the man, more complex than that, met many intellectual figures, established strong friendships and family relationships, and towards the end of his life, received young artists and collectors at his home or at his studio in Les Lauves, inviting his closest friends to lunch... Around the writings, confidences and testimonies of Cezanne's contemporaries and his Impressionist friends, Philippe Cezanne introduces us to the entire Cézanneian galaxy, inviting us to move away from the myth, and approach the reality of what his great-grandfather experienced.
