Aix-en-Provence is celebrating Cezanne 2025, a significant initiative to honor Paul Cezanne, often hailed as the father of modern art. The town aims to rewrite its historical neglect of Cezanne by investing 26 million euros into various programs, including the restoration of his family's home, the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan. Despite Cezanne's immense impact on the art world, Aix has had limited association with his work, and this celebration aims to change that narrative, enriching local culture and tourism.
Cezanne has been crowned the father of modern art... a lineage a host of disparate painters claimed in his wake. For Matisse he was the father of us all.
This summer the town celebrates Cezanne 2025, a season dedicated to rewriting that story... restoring and opening to the public the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan.
