What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Cézanne mainly in connection with the light of Aix-en-Provence, a motif that recurs from one session to another between 2017 and 20211 2. He presents him as a painter who withdrew to Aix to find a bright light and escape the mists of Impressionism3 4. He calls him a post-Impressionist and places him as a stage in a development of painting that runs from Monet to Mondrian5 6. He also notes how Cézanne keeps returning to Mont Sainte-Victoire7 and cites his bathers. He remarks that the painter became the object of a cult and that Heidegger wrote about him. These mentions are brief and come on the margins of sessions devoted to Nerval, to music or to Nietzsche against Wagner. They serve as reference points rather than leading to a study of the paintings.
