As you may remember Aix is celebrating its most famous son Paul Cezanne and there is an exhibition of the work he made at his family home in Jas de Bouffan.
It is a really impressive exhibition with lots of drawings and paintings by the great man including les joueurs de cartes (the card players), plenty of self portraits and still lifes – nature morte in French.
I love his nature morte – he painted a lot of fruit – pears, cherries and apples.
His use of colour is really eye-catching. I didn’t take any photos of the paintings in the exhibition so here’s a quick photo of the bookshop’s offerings.
If you are in Aix before 12 October I would highly recommend buying a ticket.
