“A door to Provence in the middle of Paris:”
From February 18, 2022 to January 1, 2023, the Atelier des Lumières in Paris takes us on an unusual journey through the “Cézanne, lumière de Provence” exhibition.
Located between Bastille and Nation, in a former foundry in the eleventh arrondissement of Paris, the Atelier des Lumières holds monumental immersive exhibitions. Using 140 video projectors and a spatialised sound system, the highly unique multimedia equipment covers a total surface area of 3,300 m², extending from the floors to the ceilings and over walls up to 10m high.
Via a thematic and intimate itinerary that promotes reflection, discover Cezanne’s inner torment, the power of his compositions, his approach to light and colour, and his link with nature, which was his greatest source of inspiration-his obsession.
Dive into nature, under the vast canopy of the trees, forests, parks, and gardens where the bathers can be seen, ending with the Cezannian representation of nature par excellence: Bibémus and l’Estaque, culminating in the Mont Sainte-Victoire.
His paintings are also deeply and completely sincere, conveying the artist’s uncertainty and passion. View representations that reflect the artist’s personal life: the self-portraits that capture his inner torment, the sobriety that resulted from the slow pace of daily life in Aix-en-Provence, and the intimacy of his studio.
