'Cezanne And American Modernism' At Phoenix Art Museum
In the late Nineteenth Century, as a result of study in Paris or examination of reproductions in this country, ambitious young American painters were exposed to the ideas of the European avant-garde — Cubism, Fauvism and Impressionism. The artist who most influenced US painters, reclusive French genius Paul Cezanne (1839–1906), served as a bridge between Impressionism and Twentieth Century American Modernism. His use of experimental techniques and his ability to penetrate beneath the surface to reveal the essence of things made a lasting impression on up-and-coming American artists. This fascinating chapter in US art history is effectively documented in “Cezanne and American Modernism," currently on view at the Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, Ariz., through September 26, which assembles 16 Cezannes with 80 works by 33 American acolytes who helped transform the nation’s art at the beginning of the Twentieth Century.
