Speed Cinema Screening: Cezanne - Portraits of a Life 8/26/18 5 pm

Directed by Phil Grabsky

This informative documentary delves into one of the most talked-about exhibitions of the year. Dedicated to the portrait work of Paul Cézanne, the exhibition opens in Paris before traveling to London and Washington, D.C.

One can’t appreciate 20th century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne. Featuring interviews with curators and experts from the National Portrait Gallery London, MoMA New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and the Musée d’Orsay Paris, and correspondence from the artist himself, the film takes audiences beyond the exhibition to the places Cézanne lived and worked, and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps the least-known of all the Impressionists until now. 2018, U.K., DCP, 85 minutes. Recommended for 13+.
