Exhibition on Screen is thrilled to be bringing back one of its most successful ever films, dedicated to the life and work of Paul Cézanne.

One cannot appreciate 20th century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne. Filmed at the National Portrait Gallery in London, with additional interviews from experts and curators from MoMA in New York, National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, and Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and correspondence from the artist himself, the film takes audiences to the places Cézanne lived and worked and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps one of the least known and yet most important of all the Impressionists.

Narrated by multi-award winning actor Brian Cox.
Exclusive access to the first-ever exhibition devoted to the portraits of Cézanne.
A revealing film about a man dubbed ‘the father of us all’ by Matisse and Picasso.
Released to coincide with a major Cézanne exhibition at Tate Modern (Oct 22 – Mar 23).

“… a film that thoroughly repays careful listening and looking” The Guardian

Running time: 85 minutes

Hopper’s work is the most recognisable art in America – popular, praised, and mysterious. Countless painters, photographers, filmmakers and musicians have been influenced by his art – but who was he, and how did a struggling illustrator create such a bounty of notable work?

This new film takes a deep look into Hopper’s art, his life, and his relationships. From his early career as an illustrator; his wife giving up her own promising art career to be his manager; his critical and commercial acclaim; and in his own words – this film explores the enigmatic personality behind the brush…

Combined with expert interviews, diaries, and a startling visual reflection of American life, Hopper brings to life America’s arguably most influential artist.

Hopper is a rare artist whose work is accessible to both the casual and critical observer. Rothko, Banksy, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, and even The Simpsons have all been inspired by the unique way Hopper captured American life.

“The customary mix of loving close-ups of the paintings, knowledgeable talking heads, and voiceover readings of original letters and diary entries.” Guardian ★★★★

His ghastly make-up and outrageous performance made this one of the great classics of American silent film.
