A picture says 1000 words, so they say, and a video - much more than that.  Here’s an inside view of Paul Cezanne’s studio that I took yesterday.  I also was able to touch the jacket and painting clothes left in the studio at the time of his death in 1906.

Also did a study in the garden adjacent to Cezanne’s studio - which is more of a holy shrine, almost, to many of the visitors who come to Aix.

It was very emotional for me to be standing in Cezanne’s studio - seeing and touching these past relics of his work.  Cezanne painted what he saw - and I can see, how much he has affected Aix - being just about it’s most famous citizen - many streets are named after him.
