[Exhibition Overview]
The Cézanne: Paris and Provence exhibition is a large-scale solo exhibition that looks back at the artistic career of Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), known as the Father of Modern Painting, focusing on two locations: Paris and Provence.
Born in Aix-en-Provence in the South of France (hereinafter referred to as Aix), Cézanne moved to Paris in the early 1860s, dreaming of success as a painter. In the 1870s, Cézanne was greatly inspired by the brilliant, bright colors of the Impressionist movement, which was emerging at the time, while also innovating in his representation of form and space. He established a completely new style of painting that diverged from both traditional academic art and contemporary Impressionism.
From the 1880s onwards, Cézanne was regarded as a solitary artist who turned his back on Paris and worked in seclusion in his hometown of Aix. However, in reality, he traveled back and forth between Paris and Provence more than 20 times, from 1861 until his later years. This frequent movement between the north and south of France, which has not previously received much attention, is thought to have played a decisive role in Cézanne's creative activities. This exhibition is a groundbreaking attempt to re-examine the trajectory of Cézanne's artistic creation from a new perspective of contrast between the north and the south.
