🗻 Montagne Sainte-Victoire 🗻
Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty
Montagne Sainte-Victoire can be seen in the distance from Le Jas de Bouffan. A source of inspiration for ancient Roman soldiers conquering surrounding lands. A site for festivals for early Christians celebrating the beautiful world. And the view of the mountain was incredible at Chemin des Lauves. These locations and mountain were the bookends of the life of Paul Cezanne. His optical realism, simplified shapes, colorful atmospheres, and enhanced depth motivated Matisse, Picasso, Mondrian, Beckmann, Braque, Giacometti, Léger, Gorky, Giorgio Morandi, Liubov Popova, Marsden Hartley, Charles Demuth, Kelly, Jasper Johns, Jeff Wall, Brice Marden, Sherrie Levine, Francis Alÿs and so many others to make their own unique creations.

From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Center, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Lurie Children’s Foundation.
