The final decades of the 19th century were a time of great upheaval in French art. The ferment was not always centered on the art capital of Paris. Paul Cézanne left the city in the 1880s, creating some of his most audacious late works, such as the monumental “Bathers”, in the relative obscurity of his native Aix-en-Provence.

Description   
Cézanne's art was little known to the pubic, but fellow painters such as Paul Gauguin were fascinated by his example and also experimented with new formal techniques and subjects in isolated places such as Brittany and even Tahiti.

In 1888, Gauguin traveled to Arles to work with the Dutch artist, Vincent van Gogh. The latter painted his 'Sunflowers' to welcome Gauguin, although the two painters fell out during his stay. Success eluded all three artists during their own lifetimes, yet their combined innovations fundamentally affected the course of 20th-century art.
