Meanwhile, in the life of Paul Cézanne
The whole life1901–1903
The Studio on the Chemin des Lauves
In 1901 he bought a plot of land north of Aix, in 1902 built a studio there to his own specifications (now the Atelier de Cézanne), and moved in in 1903; a long narrow slot was cut into the wall to admit natural light for the large "Bathers."

Zola's death plunged Cézanne into mourning, despite their long estrangement.

Debut at the Salon d'Automne
He exhibited for the first time at the newly founded Salon d'Automne in Paris.
9 March 1903
Rochefort's Article "The Love of Ugliness"
Henri Rochefort published a scathing article in L'Intransigeant on the paintings of "the ultra-Impressionist Cézanne"; for days, outraged residents of Aix left copies of the newspaper at the artist's door demanding that he leave town.
February 1904
Visit from Émile Bernard
The painter and theorist Émile Bernard stayed with Cézanne for a month and in July published an article about him in the journal L'Occident; their correspondence continued until Cézanne's death.
