In the last of a three-part lecture series, art historian and curator John Walsh discusses Cézanne's solitary and hugely productive last years in Provence painting landscapes and figures, including many portraits of local people that are full of sober empathy.

John Walsh, an independent art historian, was Director of the J. Paul Getty Museum from 1983 until 2000. After graduating from Yale and getting his PhD from Columbia, he worked as a curator at the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and taught art history at Columbia and Harvard. Since he left the Getty he has been teaching part-time at Yale and giving public lectures there. He has previously given lecture series at the Hammer on Vincent Van Gogh, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Piet Mondrian.
