PAUL CEZANNE:  THE MAN WHO INSPIRED PICASSO

Tuesday, May 27 at 2:00 pm

Cribari Conference Room

The Villages Arts & Crafts Association

presents another inspiring film on the life and work of Paul Cezanne

hosted by Marion Rose

Paul Cezanne worked closely with Impressionist artists who were his friends,

Renoir, Monet, Pisarro and Degas but his work was rejected by them in

his early years.

He strove for a new way of looking at things that wasn't dictated by traditional

artistic approaches.  He didn't want to learn how to copy other artists which

was the mode of learning at the time but wanted to explore his own vision.

He was ahead of his time and did not receive any recognition until late

in his life.  Cezanne is credited with being the precursor of cubism and

modern abstract expressionism and inspired the likes of Picasso,

Kandinsky and Mondrian by approaching painting for its own sake

and not just to tell a visual story.

Free to all Villagers and their guests.

Popcorn will be served.

An art related door prize will be presented at the end of the film.

This film runs for just under an hour.
