23 works across 2 institutions
London holds 23 works by Paul Cézanne across 2 institutions, including National Gallery and Courtauld Gallery.
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.
