“Cezanne and American Modernism” – Until September 26, 2010
“French master Paul Cézanne, one of the most recognizable names in art, is celebrated worldwide for his Post-Impressionist masterpieces. However, Cezanne’s greatest legacy may be the transformative effect his work had on 20th century artists. Cézanne and American Modernism is the first exhibition to examine Cezanne’s influence on American artists working between 1900 and 1930 by bringing together 16 of the French master’s paintings and works on papers with more than 80 works by 33 American artists, including Marsden Hartley, Maurice Prendergast, Arshile Gorky, Alfred Stieglitz and Man Ray.”
FYI: Cézanne (1839–1906) – Often referred to as the father of Modern Art “for his revolutionary use of flattened perspective, carefully structured compositions and his signature technique of painting with patches of color. “
