Aix en Provence reflects on its most popular artist Cezanne ahead of art sale
1. Various of town centre
2. Various of statue of Paul Cezanne
6. Pan of Musee (Museum) Grenet
7. Various of exhibition on Cezanne life and work
8. SOUNDBITE : (French) Denis Coutagne, curator Musee Grenet :
Why there aren't Cezanne paintings in Aix. Well we have a few, some donated by the state, some donated by an anonymous donor who has given two watercolours which are going to arrive this summer. But basically Cezanne wasn't loved neither in Aix nor in Paris, Paris hasn't put much effort also.
9. Various of Cezanne's paintings
10. SOUNDBITE : (French) Denis Coutagne, curator Musee Grenet :
Cezanne isn't loved because first of all he is son of a banker who wasn't loved, when people went to see his paintings he tells them to go to hell, he is a violent character, doesn't search for company, all this counts. Above all, though, taste for art in end of 19 century Aix favours a provencal painting, lacquered, quiet, you can detect the objects well. How do you think a painter with such strong style, where shapes are not any more traditional, where colours are slashed into, pasted, could be understood in a small provincial town ? .
11. Various of curator placing Cezanne's paintings and his last palette of paints into a safe
UPSOUND: (French) Denis Coutagne, curator Musee Grenet :
This was Cezanne's last palette
12. Various of Cezanne's studio Atelier des Lauves.
13. SOUNDBITE : (French) Michel Fraisset, deputy director Tourist Office:
These authentic places talk today to the emotions of visitors, to their hearts not to their reason. As one steps in here is seduced by the atmosphere, you get the impression Cezanne spirit is still here. And someone who discovers the objects he has portrayed, this is a pilgrimage, a coming back to the sources.
14. Various objects
15. SOUNDBITE : (French) Michel Fraisset, deputy director Tourist Office :
Each year I reckon 500 thousand visitors come to Aix especially for Cezanne, to be there where he has created the majority of this works, in the heart of his landscapes.
16. Visitors to the atelier
17. SOUNDBITE : (Spanish) Teresa Gomez, Tourist from Spain
In the planning of our tour we included Aix en Provence because we wished to visit Cezanne's house, his studio, and where he painted his pictures.
18.SOUNDBITE : (English) Martha Hochschwender, Tourist from US
To me the most inspirational is seeing the surroundings, oh I didn't get to see the art in the other buildings, so there isn't much of his paintings for me to have seen right now, but I just love it up here, it's beautiful.
19. Various of Cezanne's house and garden 'Jas de Bouffan '
London, UK - 19 April 2007
20. Various of replica of Paul Cezanne's painting Nature morte au melon in Sotheby's gallery window
LEAD IN :
Impressionism and post impressionism art movements continues to draw interest from the public whether it is a museum exhibition or an auction.
Part of the spell comes from the landscapes and the places these artists have portrayed in their paintings.
The provencal town of Aix en Provence did not approve of the art by a local painter Paul Cezanne during his lifetime.
But now just over a century after his death, Cezanne's works now enjoy an more appreciative audience in his hometown and his work attracts thousands of tourists to the region each year.
But fans of the artists work are often disappointed to find that few of his paintings remain here, with most gracing the walls of museum and art collection across in far flung cities.
Next month a watercolour by Cezanne Nature morte au melon will be sold at auction in New York.
It's expected to fetch up to $18 million.

Personal Landscapes: John Grade on Cezanne's Mont Sainte-Victoire
I think the way in which Cezanne is handling the paint within these trees has a really nice comparison to the way in which Middle Fork is made up of these very small incremental pieces. Maybe as many as a million pieces. –John Grade
What makes a Cezanne, painted over 100 years ago, similar to the contemporary sculpture recently installed in SAM's Brotman Forum? Hear from artist John Grade, on Middle Fork, a 105-foot long sculpture that echoes the contours of a 140-year-old western hemlock tree, and why he is drawn to the trees that cover the foreground of Mont Sainte-Victoire, on view now in Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection.
Seeing Nature is on view through May 23. visitsam.org/seeingnature #SeeingNature

A Walk Around The Beautiful Town of Aix En Provence, France
Aix-en-Provence is a city and commune in Southern France, about 30 km (19 mi) north of Marseille. A former capital of Provence, it is in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône, of which it is a subprefecture. The population of Aix-en-Provence numbers approximately 143,000. Its inhabitants are called Aixois or, less commonly, Aquisextains.
The Cours Mirabeau is a wide thoroughfare, planted with double rows of plane trees, bordered by fine houses and decorated by fountains. It follows the line of the old city wall, and divides the town into two sections. The new town extends to the south and west; the old town, with its narrow, irregular streets and its old mansions dating from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, lies to the north. Situated on this avenue, which is lined on one side with banks and on the other with cafés, is the Deux Garçons, the most famous brasserie in Aix. Built in 1792, it was frequented by the likes of Paul Cézanne, Émile Zola and Ernest Hemingway.
The Cathedral of the Holy Saviour (Aix Cathedral) is situated to the north in the medieval part of Aix. Built on the site of a former Roman forum and an adjacent basilica, it contains a mixture of all styles from the 5th to the 17th century, including a richly decorated portal in the Gothic style with doors elaborately carved in walnut. The interior contains 16th-century tapestries, a 15th-century triptych, depicting King René and his wife on the side panels, as well as a Merovingian baptistery, its Renaissance dome supported by original Roman columns. The archbishop's palace (Palais de l'Archêveché) and a Romanesque cloister adjoin the cathedral on its south side. The Archbishopric of Aix is now shared with Arles.
Among its other public institutions, Aix also has the second most important Appeal Court (Palais de Justice) outside of Paris, located near the site of the former Palace of the Counts (Palais des Comtes) of Provence.
The Aix-en-Provence Town Hall (Hôtel de Ville), a building in the classical style of the middle of the 17th century, looks onto a picturesque square (Place de l'Hôtel de Ville). It contains some fine woodwork and tapestries. At its side rises a handsome clock-tower erected in 1510. Also on the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville is the former Corn Exchange (1759–1761) (Halle de Grains). This ornately decorated 18th-century building was designed by the Vallon brothers. Nearby are the remarkable thermal springs, containing lime and carbonic acid, that first drew the Romans to Aix and gave it the name Aquae Sextiae. A spa was built in 1705 near the remains of the ancient Roman baths of Sextius.
South of the Cours Mirabeau is the Quartier Mazarin. This residential district was constructed for the gentry of Aix by Archbishop Michele Mazzarino brother of Cardinal Jules Mazarin in the last half of the 17th century and contains several notable hôtels particuliers. The 13th-century church of Saint-Jean-de-Malte contains valuable pictures and a recently restored organ. Next to it is the Musée Granet, devoted to European painting and sculpture.
Aix is often referred to as the city of a thousand fountains. Among the most notable are the 17th-century Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins (Fountain of the Four Dolphins) in the Quartier Mazarin, designed by Jean-Claude Rambot, and three of the fountains down the central Cours Mirabeau: At the top, a 19th-century fountain depicts the good king René holding the Muscat grapes that he introduced to Provence in the 15th century; halfway down is a natural hot water fountain (34 °C), covered in moss, dating back to the Romans; and at the bottom at la Rotonde, the hub of modern Aix, stands a monumental fountain from 1860 beneath three giant statues representing art, justice and agriculture. In the older part of Aix, there are also fountains of note in the Place d'Albertas and the Place des Trois-Ormeaux.

Paul Cézanne: Painting People - Mary Tompkins Lewis
A concise, accessible introduction to Paul Cézanne's portraiture
This beautifully illustrated book features twenty-four masterpieces in portraiture by celebrated French artist Paul Cézanne (1839–1906), offering an excellent introduction to this important aspect of his work.

Art historian Mary Tompkins Lewis contributes an illuminating essay on Cézanne and his portraiture for general readers, alongside an illustrated chronology of the artist’s life and work.

Places to see in ( Aix en Provence - France ) Granet Museum
The Musée Granet is a museum in the quartier Mazarin, Aix-en-Provence, France devoted to painting, sculpture and archeology. In 2011, the museum received 177,598 visitors. The museum, adjacent to the Church of Saint-Jean-de-Malte, first opened in 1838 in buildings previously belonging to the priory of Saint-Jean-de-Malte. It still shares a common garden with the church.
It recently underwent significant restoration and reorganization, prior to the international exhibition in 2006 marking the centenary of Cézanne's death. Due to lack of space, the large archeological collection, including many recent discoveries, will be displayed in a new museum, still in the planning stages. The museum contains major paintings by Jean-Dominique Ingres (among which the monumental Jupiter and Thetis), an authentic self-portrait by Rembrandt and works by Anthony van Dyck, Paul Cézanne, Alberto Giacometti and Nicolas de Staël.
In June 2011, the first part of the collection of the Fondation Jean et Suzanne Planque opened at the Musée Granet, containing over 180 artworks. This legacy of the Swiss painter, dealer and art collector Jean Planque, a personal friend of Pablo Picasso, has been donated to the city for an initial period of 15 years. The collection contains over 300 works of art, including paintings and drawings by Degas, Renoir. Gauguin, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Picasso, Pierre Bonnard, Paul Klee, Fernand Léger, Giacometti and Dubuffet. The full collection will be housed in a specially constructed annex in the Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs, situated nearby: the expected opening is in 2013.

세잔의 집에서 그리 멀지 않은 곳에 세잔이 생을 마감하기 직전까지 작품에 몰두했다는 작업실이 있다. 근대 회화의 아버지로 추앙받는 세잔의 작업실은 과연, 어떤 모습일까? “세잔은 프랑스뿐 아니라 전 세계적으로도 유명한데 20세기 회화의 시초인 예술가죠. 그는 인상파와 입체파의 선구자가 되었고, 세잔 이후, 20세기부터 새로운 그림들이 나타납니다.” 자연의 빛을 회화의 도구로 삼았던 화가답게 세잔의 작업실엔 커다란 창이 밖으로 나 있다. 그의 그림 속에 등장했던 정물도 여전히 그대론데 금방에라도 세잔이 다시 나타나 붓을 들 것만 같다. 세잔이 가장 사랑했던 그림 주제는, 빅투아르 산이었다. 죽는 날까지 20년간, 매일 빅투아르 산을 관찰하며 80여 점의 그림을 남겼던 세잔, 그는 가고 없지만, 그가 사랑했던 산은 자연과 그의 작품 속에서 불멸을 얻었다.

Monument historique
The term monument historique is a designation given to some national heritage sites in France. It may also refer to the state procedure in France by which National Heritage protection is extended to a building, a specific part of a building, a collection of buildings, garden, bridge, or other structure, because of their importance to France's architectural and historical cultural heritage. Both public and privately owned structures may be listed in this way, as well as also movable objects. As of 2012 there were 44,236 monuments listed.
Buildings may be given the classification for both their exteriors or interiors, including a building's décor, its furniture, a single room, or even a staircase. An example is the Monument Historique classification of the décor in the café Deux Garçons in Aix-en-Provence whose patrons once included Alphonse de Lamartine, Émile Zola and Paul Cézanne. Some buildings are designated because of their connection to a single personality, such as the Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise which is designated an MH because of its connection to the painter Vincent van Gogh. Since the 1990s, a significant number of places have been given the designation because of their historical importance to science.

Things to do in Aix-en-Provence: 3 minute guide to the top attractions
Visitor Vids tourist guide to Aix-en-Provence, France. Make the most of your day out with our, two minute guide to the top visitor attractions in Aix-en-Provence.
Aix en Provence, is a vibrant university city in the south of France, about 30 kms from Marseille and the coast.
The elegant and grandiose Cours Mirabeau, is at the heart of the city. Lined with magnificent plane trees and edged with classical town-houses, the vast thoroughfare spans from the impressive Rotonde fountain past café terraces and fountains to the statue of Good King René. It was he who made Aix his 15th-century Provençal capital.
Aix, was founded in the first century BCE by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, who gave his name to its springs. Over the years it has been a cultured centre for artists, lawyers and nobles and Aix is the birthplace of the post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. The artist's last studio has been left as if he had just popped out. Visit and you’ll see his painting and still-life props still in place. Spy the white, granite stone mountain of Sainte Victoire overlooking the city which was a frequent topic of his work.
Stroll through the Mazarin district, to the south of the Cours Mirabeau with its fine 17th and 18th century aristocratic houses. Here you’ll find the Granet museum Aix's main gallery, as well as the Caumont art centre, both worth a visit. As on the outskirts of the city, is the modernist art museum, the Fondation Vasereley.
Wander to the north of the Cours Mirabeau through the old centre with its elegant narrow streets, grand squares and fountains. Head to the town hall square, with its 16th-century clock tower past ornate Renaissance town-houses to the Archbishop's Palace, and just beyond, St Sauveur cathedral. Here you’ll find Nicolas Froment's 15th-century Burning Bush triptych, one of the French south's finest art-works.
Fashionable shops, restaurants, cafes and bars abound in the city, which is a lively meeting centre and justly named the city of a thousand fountains.

ix-en-Provence is a university city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southern France. Aix en Provence was the birthplace of Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. A walking trail links sites including his childhood home, Jas de Bouffan, and his former studio, Atelier Cézanne. The white limestone mountain Sainte-Victoire overlooking Aix en Provence as well as the surrounding countryside were frequent subjects of his works. Aix en Provence is a city-commune in the south of France, about 30 km (19 mi) north of Marseille.
The Cours Mirabeau is a wide thoroughfare, planted with double rows of plane-trees, bordered by fine houses and decorated by fountains. Deux Garçons, the most famous brasserie in Aix. Built in 1792, it has been frequented by the likes of Paul Cézanne, Émile Zola and Ernest Hemingway.
The Cathedral of the Holy Saviour (Aix Cathedral) is situated to the north in the medieval part of Aix. Built on the site of a former Roman forum and an adjacent basilica, depicting King René and his wife on the side panels, as well as a Merovingian baptistery, its Renaissance dome supported by original Roman columns. The archbishop's palace (Palais de l'Archêveché) and a Romanesque cloister adjoin the cathedral on its south side. The Archbishopric of Aix is now shared with Arles.
Among its other public institutions, Aix also has the second most important Appeal Court (Palais de Justice) outside of Paris, located near the site of the former Palace of the Counts (Palais des Comtes) of Provence. The Hôtel de Ville, a building in the classical style of the middle of the 17th century, looks onto a picturesque square (place de l'Hôtel de Ville). It contains some fine woodwork and tapestries. At its side rises a handsome clock-tower erected in 1510. Also on the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville is the former Corn Exchange (1759–1761) (Halle de Grains). This ornately decorated 18th-century building was designed by the Vallon brothers. Nearby are the remarkable thermal springs, containing lime and carbonic acid, that first drew the Romans to Aix and gave it the name Aquae Sextiae. A spa was built in 1705 near the remains of the ancient Roman baths of Sextius.
South of the Cours Mirabeau is the Quartier Mazarin. This residential district was constructed for the gentry of Aix by Archbishop Michele Mazzarino brother of Cardinal Jules Mazarin in the last half of the 17th century and contains several notable hôtels particuliers. The 13th-century church of Saint-Jean-de-Malte contains valuable pictures and a recently restored organ. Next to it is the Musée Granet, devoted to European painting and sculpture.
Aix is often referred to as the city of a thousand fountains. Among the most notable are the 17th-century Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins (Fountain of the Four Dolphins) in the Quartier Mazarin, designed by Jean-Claude Rambot, and three of the fountains down the central Cours Mirabeau: At the top, a 19th-century fountain depicts the good king René holding the Muscat grapes that he introduced to Provence in the 15th century; halfway down is a natural hot water fountain (34 °C), covered in moss, dating back to the Romans; and at the bottom at la Rotonde, the hub of modern Aix, stands a monumental fountain from 1860 beneath three giant statues representing art, justice and agriculture. In the older part of Aix, there are also fountains of note in the Place d'Albertas and the Place des Trois-Ormeaux.
To the east of Aix rises the Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1011 m), one of the landmarks of the Pays d'Aix. It is accessible from the centre of Aix by road or on foot, taking the wooded footpath of Escrachou Pevou to the plateau of Bibemus.
Aix has several museums and galleries:
Le Musée du Vieil Aix (Museum of Old Aix)
