Described by Picasso and Matisse as “the father of us all” Cézanne is considered one of the greatest artists of all time.

Directed by Phil Grabsky, Cézanne – Portraits of a Life is based on the exhibition of Cézanne portraits currently on view at the National Portrait Gallery, London.  The film features interviews with curators, art experts and his great-grandson Philippe Cézanne.  Shot in 4k, it also travels to Cézanne’s home and studio in Provence and by including correspondence from the artist, it successfully sheds new light on the life and work of this hugely influential artist.

Over his life Cézanne painted almost 1000 paintings, 200 of which were portraits.  The exhibition, billed by art critics as 'once in a lifetime', brings together - for the first time since Cézanne's death - fifty of these portraits from private and public collections all around the world. These portraits provide the backbone to the moving new cinematic film.

Exhibition On Screen’s  latest release, Cézanne – Portraits of a Life in cinemas across Australia from 20 September – 18 October 2018, reveals the true man.  [EOS Facebook]
