Picasso Cézanne

If you haven’t gone already, the big show of the summer is in the south of France, held in Cézanne’s home town, and focuses on his lifelong influence on Picasso, from the young Spanish artist’s arrival in Paris in 1900 to his final years living “chez Cézanne” at the foot of the Montagne Sainte Victoire. Picasso is buried at his home there, the Chateau de Vauvenargaues, which is exceptionally open to the public during the show. Picasso’s later work did not compare well with other older masters in a recent Paris exhibit, so this show, with more than 100 paintings, drawings, watercolors, sculptures and graphic works, is awaited with much interest.
