The exhibition Cézanne Portraits of a Life showcases the portrait work of French artist Paul Cézanne, who is considered one of the most influential painters in the history of art. The exhibition features over 50 of Cézanne's portraits, including famous works such as his self-portrait, Madame Cézanne in a Yellow Chair, and The Card Players.
The exhibition explores Cézanne's unique approach to portraiture, which focused on capturing the essence of his subjects rather than creating a realistic likeness. The exhibition also examines the artist's use of color and brushwork, which had a profound influence on the development of modern art.
The exhibition will first open at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris before traveling to the National Portrait Gallery in London and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The exhibition is curated by John Elderfield, former Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Mary Morton, Curator and Head of the Department of French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Cézanne Portraits of a Life promises to be a fascinating exploration of one of the most enigmatic and influential artists of the modern era.
