Product Description

Paul Cézanne sought a method of capturing the underlying structure of any subject matter. His eventual triumph derived from a revolutionary new approach to color and to perspective. His paintings were often derided by the critics, but by the end of his life, his genius was beginning to be appreciated. Cézanne’s influence on 20th century artists was so great that he is now referred to as the "Father of Modern Painting." This fascinating program includes all new location footage, re-creations and reconstructions, studies of the great works, commentary and analyses from leading authorities, art historians and scholars. Also included in the series: Gauguin, Munch, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Rousseau.
