NATIONAL TOM SAWYER DAYS

What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Born Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain was his pen name), Twain was four when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river – the steamboats, the giant lumber rafts, and the people who worked on them.

“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is one of Twain’s best-loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days every 4th of July. The boy in the photo entered his frog in the jumping contest. There’s also a fencepainting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It’s a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he convinces them it’s fun to paint, and they join in the “fun.” By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!

Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it’s based on fact. If you go to Hannibal, you’ll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain’s boyhood home.

1.Mark Twain’s family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the east bank of the Mississippi.

2.The story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, based totally on Mark Twain’s imagination.

3.Twain wrote “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” and it was one of his best-loved short stories.

4.Mark Twain enjoyed watching the steamboats, but not the giant lumber rafts.

5.The idea of a fence-painting contest comes from a scene in a book about Tom Sawyer.

6.If we visit Hannibal, Missouri, we might see white fences everywhere.

There are few visitors to the countryside around Aix-­en-­Provence who do not see its dramatic forms through the eyes of its most famous inhabitant, Paul Cézanne. Day after day for the last 20 years of his life the artist set up his easel to paint Mont Sainte­ Victoire and the surrounding countryside.

Sadly, Cézanne’s efforts frequently left him dissatisfied as he felt he was not achieving the high artistic goals which he had set himself. Nor was his dedication appreciated by the townspeople of Aix, where Cézanne had been born in 1839.

The painter was very much disliked, and lived alone and isolated – a classic case of the misunderstood,­ awkward and unconventional artistic genius.

He had retired to Aix partly because he had not done well in the artistic world of Paris. His work took much longer to gain acceptance than that of the Impressionists – an injustice for which Cézanne bitterly resented his former artistic colleagues.

Cézanne had first gone to Paris in 1861. He met Camille Pissarro at the Academie Suisse, and the violent subjects of his early work gave way to the subjects and style of Impressionism­. But he soon felt the need to go beyond this, to “make of Impressionism something solid and lasting, like the art of the museums”. He wanted to add intellect­ to the sensations that lay behind the work of artists like Monet.

Like the Impressionists, Cézanne was part of a movement away from the museums as a source of artistic inspiration and towards the direct observation of nature. “One must make a vision for oneself,” he wrote. “One must see nature as no one has seen it before.” Cézanne’s efforts lasted a lifetime. “I must carry on – I simply must paint from nature,” he wrote in 1906. By this time, his work was beginning to be recognised. He had had his first successful exhibition­ in 1895, and was beginning to attract a few young followers. Despite this, his death certificate identifies him as a man of private

means and not as an artist.

His works were not shown in the town museum until some years after his death. Aix is now embarrassed by this late acceptance of its artistic son, and today one can get a map which leads one to Cézanne’s favourite places for painting. Although much has changed, you can still see landscapes which are very much the same as those seen in the paintings. You can also visit Cézanne’s studio, where objects made famous in Cézanne’s still lifes are on display.
