Visiting Aix is the dreamt-of chance to go and discover an artist considered
today to have been the town’s most famous ambassador and a major figure in the
history of art : Cézanne A native of Aix, this was where the artist, who
overturned art in his day, broke away from the decorative academism of the
time.
The Lauves Studio which he built between 1901 and 1902 remains an
intimate witness to his work and the Sainte-Victoire Mountain, his favourite
subject, must absolutely be explored during a tour of the Aix countryside.
In the last years of his life, the artist returned to the place
ceaselessly in painting after painting. An exercise in style based on a
landscape that he had devoted no less than 60 paintings, drawings and
watercolours to.
