Watched “Sunday Morning” on CBS and saw a feature about an exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art – “Cezanne and Beyond”.
French impressionist artist Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) had a huge effect on his contemporaries and many of the artists that came after him. 40 of his paintings and 20 of his watercolors are displayed along with the work of those painters that acknowledge Cezanne’s influence:
Georges Braque, Charles Demuth, Alberto Giacomett, Arshile Gorky, Jasper Johns, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio Morandi, Henri Matisse.
“Cezanne and Beyond” until May 17, 2009

This past Sunday CBS's Sunday Morning featured a segment on Cezanne who along side Modigliani where my favorites growing up. I would love to attend this show. As many of the Cezanne paintings that I have seen in various museum, France, Russia, New York etc. there is always one painting that I am not familiar with and therefor impressed anew.
