The bucolic Provençal countryside provides the backdrop for this program which details the life of the French Impressionist deified posthumously as "nature’s most sublime interpreter." Remembrances of family, friends, and Cézanne himself offer insights into his childhood in Aix, his lasting friendship with Emile Zola, and his association with numerous artists, including Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Picasso, Braque, and Dufy. Paintings from various periods of his life, including his final days at Sainte Victoire, appear throughout the program. Also available in French. (28 minutes)
