Three Colors: Cézanne - Currently Unavailable

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was initially associated with the Impressionists, but his innovations in representing the natural world laid the foundations for the art of the 20th century, paving the way for Cubism and abstraction. In this video, artists (Howard Hodgkin, R. B. Kitaj, Bridget Riley), curators, and historians analyze the radical nature of his invention, tracing its origins in the art of the 19th century and the work of the Old Masters, revealed all the more clearly by a broad view of his lifetime preoccupations. Descendents of the artist discuss his family history and temperament. Written and presented by Matthew Collings.
