Paul Cézanne paintings in Copenhagen

Copenhagen holds 4 works by Paul Cézanne across 2 institutions, including Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and Ordrupgaard.

Cézanne is often described as the father of modern art, and his work reveals why in person: the patient, methodical deconstruction of form and space that Cubism would later take further. His paintings look deceptively simple in reproduction but are extraordinarily complex in the original — the colour relationships are everything.
