In anticipation of the Cézanne centennial plans for the year 2006 this impressive bronze by Gabriël Sterk is destined to occupy a public space in the heart of Aix-en-Provence.

A celebration of the town's most illustrious and best known citizen will attract visitors from the world over who come to make, or renew, acquaintance with his œuvre, the sites that he painted, their light and the colors and aromas of Provence. This impressive tribute is a befitting homage to the "maitre d'Aix".

Recognizing the debt owed to Paul Cézanne, Andréa Ferréol, Aix's well-known actress and Michel Fraisset, Curator of the Atelier Cézanne, have launched an appeal to Cézanne-lovers throughout the world in order to help finance the purchase of this sculpture.
