Paul Cézanne
French, Aix-en-Provence 1839–1906 Aix-en-Provence
Paul Cézanne, the French Post-Impressionist whose work reshaped the course of modern painting, is represented here by thirty-five pieces spanning the years 1855 to 1902. Oil on canvas dominates the holdings, though the collection also preserves watercolor and graphite studies, several of them executed on both sides of a single sheet. Among the subjects are bathers, landscapes, trees, still life, and the artist's own portrait, revealing the range of motifs he pursued across his career.
