Reconstructing Cezanne: sequence and process in Paul Cezanne's works on paper

Abstract

The exhibition brings to light new, ground-breaking research into the work of one of modernism's greatest masters, based on close examination of the DNA makeup that constitutes the papers he used for his watercolours and drawings. This catalogue will feature in-depth analyses of the works in the show by Fabienne Ruppen, as well as extensive commentary on new horizons in Cézanne scholarship by expert Walter Feilchenfeldt (co-author of the artist's new online catalogue raisonné). At the centre of the exhibition are two watercolours that Cézanne produced from a large sheet of paper, which he divided in two sections for the purpose of capturing different landscapes, the Courtauld Gallery's long-time celebrated La Montagne Sainte-Victoire, from 1885-87, and a Paysage Provençal. --- Exhibition: Luxembourg & Dayan, London, UK (02.10.-07.12.2019).
