Documentary 'Cézanne: Portraits of a Life' Screens in Italian Cinemas

The documentary 'Cézanne: Portraits of a Life' will be screened in Italian cinemas on May 8 and 9, 2018. The film explores the life and works of Paul Cézanne, a foundational figure of modern art who influenced the Fauves, Cubists, and avant-garde movements. It is set in London, Paris, Washington D.C., and Provence, where the artist was born and died. The documentary features footage from the exhibition 'Cézanne's Portraits,' which gathered fifty portraits from institutions including the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Curators and experts from these institutions contribute insights. Cézanne created about 200 portraits and around thirty self-portraits, a remarkable number in art history. The film is part of the 'Grande Arte al Cinema' series, distributed exclusively in Italy by Nexo Digital with media partners Sky Arte HD and MYmovies.it.
