Cézanne's workshop in Aix-en-Provence.

" Cezanne's workshop offered to the University of Aix-en-Provence by the american admirers of the painter "

So I'm back in France. Took the plane last Thursday, landed in Marseille on Friday. Good trip. And I felt awake enough to spend last Saturday in Aix en Provence, half hour by bus from Marseille. Aix is Cézanne's town, french impressionist painter. We chose to stop by Cezanne's studio. A place that many americans come and visit when they stop in Aix. 

"... it is here that we feel the presence of the painter with the greatest intensity. He created his shelter there, a place of work and contemplation, from where on sunny days, he painted "le motif". On rainy days or really cold days, Cezanne stayed inside the workshop with familiar objects which became the models of his still life paintings : some pottery, bottles, vases, paper flowers or fabrics, fruits, mainly apples, as well as a some skulls. Lots of works, kept in renowned museums, such as "Grandes Baigneuses", were painted in this studio of light and silence."
