Record visitors, stolen paintings… We rewind 56 years of exhibitions dedicated to Cezanne in Aix

Cezanne and Aix. The beginning of the story is inconsistent. The painter is too far ahead of his time. He is not understood, sometimes mocked. Henri Pontier, director of the city’s Museum of Fine Arts (which would later be renamed the Granet Museum), trumpeted that while he was alive, no Cezanne would enter his museum. The man is not really a visionary. And Aix will bite its fingers.
