Over 100 Cézanne Works Exhibit Aix-en-Provence Museum

In 2025, Aix-en-Provence is celebrating the legacy of Paul Cézanne with a major exhibition at the Musée Granet titled Cézanne au Jas de Bouffan, showcasing 130 works and the newly renovated artist's family estate and studio. This event is part of a larger multi-part celebration of Cézanne's life, highlighting his artistic journey from Aix to Paris and back, as well as the complex relationship with his father and the contrasting influences of Provence and the capital. Visitors can explore Cézanne's environment in depth, including the gradually reopening Jas de Bouffan country house and an exhibition of Bernard Plossu's black and white photographs capturing the artist's studio and surroundings. The celebration reflects both the local pride in Cézanne's impact as the 'father of modern art' and the continuing interest in his work, which recently fetched record prices at auction. Provence itself is promoted as an ideal art destination, enriched by other cultural sites like Fondation Maeght and the works of Matisse and Chagall nearby. These events offer a rare immersive experience into the environment that inspired Cézanne and the art heritage of southern France.
