Madame Cézanne

Paul Cézanne painted his wife Hortense more than any other subject, yet never in the same light. This slow art video lingers on her still expressions and sculpted presence, revealing the quiet complexity of their relationship. From softened contours to geometric restraint, each portrait is both intimate and analytical. As you watch, her face becomes a canvas for Cézanne’s evolving vision of form, of feeling, and of permanence.
