Cézanne works on paper

The French painter Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) is considered a pioneer who paved the way for cubist and abstract art, but his revolutionary style may be most evident in his drawings. Correspondent Rita Braver visits New York's Museum of Modern Art, where more than 250 of Cézanne's watercolors and sketches on paper are featured in a landmark exhibition, "Cézanne Drawing."

This show is best when it stays with things like this. Thoughtful, not judgmental or biased. Just informational. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Stay away from politics. It corrupts everything it touches.

You really need to read Proust Was A Neuroscientist. "Instead of giving us a scene of fully realised forms, Cézanne supplies us with layers of suggestive edges, out of which forms slowly unfurl. Our vision is made of lines, and Cézanne has made the lines distressingly visible." In other words, Cézanne got the eye right, long before Hubel and Wiesel transformed our understanding of the visual cortex in 1959."

Gah! Only until the 25th at MOMA! Out in California, need to get out there!

Interesting. But I don't think anyone can know what another "thinks". Cezanne is certainly well known today. Thank you for this.

I don’t find his work exceptional at all. Looks like a child drew/painted most of it. The art world is so pretentious.
