It was through this outstanding interview that I became acquainted with Professor Alex Danchev (R.I.P.). This highly interesting conversation triggered my need to know more about Paul Cézanne. 'Cézanne a Life' and 'The Letters of Paul Cézanne' are among my favourite books on the Father of Modern Art. When it comes to 'Cézanne a Life', I'd like to remark that I savoured each and every statement written by Danchev, to whom I'm also immensely grateful for having re-transcribed and translated the letters of Cézanne as well as the correspondence sent to him. I'd like to thank the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston as well as Jonathan Ribner for this wonderful Video !

Thank you for doing this...I can't easily get out to places, with my age 76 today...along with different ailments...but I love watching the stories of different painter's lives....It is such a pleasure...Thank you again!!!

The sketch by Morris Denise at 9:33 tells a great deal. The pallet Cezanne is holding is not covered in random paint swatches, it is an accurate spot on representation of Cezanne's pallet. A picture does say a thousand words. That pallet (the second focal point of the painting, the first being Cezanne's white bearded wide eyed explanatory facial expression - holding the pallet out for everyone to see clearly) tells us how Cezanne worked his colors while plein air painting. It is a golden moment. The three men were delighted to meet up with Cezanne and learn from him. This sketch is the best thing to home video for these gentlemen painters. The pallet also has every color in this sketch. This is very much a teaching moment.

I love that photo of Cézanne picking up a multi million dollar painting from where it was sitting in the dust, leaning against that rough stone wall. It makes me smile every time I see it.

That may be the best painting of that mountain of the many I have seen by Cezanne.

Thank you, I will seek after your book and could watch this presentation a hundred times ... bless you and all of your endeavors,

God love the woman who asked about the colour green. My experience and connection with Cezanne is green too! Deep, lush and dark. Especially in The Banks of the Marne 1888 (Hermitage collection). Maybe because blue is the primary colour necessary to make green. There would be no green without the blue. Either way, if green is what you associate with Cezanne then so be it. You do you. There is no right or wrong way to experience and enjoy art

I'm listening to this video in my garden. His still pictures of fruit, particularly the apples helps me remember something about who he is. Also knowing that Picasso admired him and learned from Scianne. Scianne is an impressist painter who started using cubism which Pisacso also is famous for as a modern artist. Scianne died at 67 years old while still painting. Thanks for this video.

Outstanding discussion.I am going to the Cezanne exhibit at the Chicago Institute of Art. This gives me a great insight into the artist.

Loved finding out about the man, and what defined his life and craft!

Very interesting speaker

Excellent

I believe that Cezanne hid self portraits in some of his works. In the mountains landscape. Dead center. He's looking straight out at the viewer, with hat and goatee, included.

T behold thank you.

Does anyone know what the formal catalogued title of the painting of Mont Sainte-Victoire at 9:53 is? There are many pictures of the mountain that Cenzanne painted, but this version is particularly interesting. Thank you!

6 :43 the sun its like 12 hs middleday or 14 hs . In painting landscape for long times in winter is good cover your earts because wind make them pain . A hat" its god for cover your eyes from lightsun to see better the tones . He take the brush correctly for the extreme .

Paul cezanne just like karl marx his painting is totally objective I think he read rene Descartes philosophy. There is some relation between in.cezanne not only a artist he is allsow a philosopher

I wish they talked more about him as a "painter", not a man, all they talked about was people encounters with him, not the paintings or his techniques or his landscaping. I'm a beginner in reading about Cezanne and thought this video would help me but it was veryy focused on the encounters, it is helpful but not for a beginner but someone who is well known with the artist

Paul Klee and Paul Gauguin said Paul Cezanne the best of us

Left behind no one still here wrangersbanger

I lasted to minute 15 - maybe after that the talk became brilliant-- but rigid boredom had set in at that point.

Enjoyed Mr Danchev’s book. I agree with other comments, however, that simply stating that a painting is wonderful without explaining why is devoid of substance. Too much of that in popular books and talks. How Cezanne holds his paintbrush says as little about his painting as Einstein’s grip on his pencil says about his theory.

Research your subject and prepare an interesting fluent talk

" He's not painting...he's looking"...duh...is this scholarship? Can't watch this dry academia any more.
