The Sense of Sight
Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) was born in Aix-en-Provence and died there at the age of 67. 'Before Cezanne painted in Provence in the 19th century one couldn't have imagined that the natural terms in which the world is seen, the warm and the cool of it, the red and yellow and blue of it could be built into structures so grand, so mind-stretching.' To the fifth of a series of six films Sir Lawrence Gowing brings a lifetime's study of the paintings of Cezanne who, more than anyone, set the course of modern art. Film editor SUE WYATT
