Calliopée – Art & Culture offers you a guided tour of the "Cézanne et nous" exhibition at the Grand Palais, devoted to one of the most influential artists of modern painting.
Paul Cézanne never ceased to search for a new way of looking at and depicting the world. Landscapes, portraits, still lifes, or scenes of daily life: his work reflects a profound questioning of painting and paves the way for the major artistic upheavals of the twentieth century.
Throughout the works, we will focus on what makes his vision unique: the construction of forms, the relationships between colors, light, the geometry of landscapes, and this highly personal way of translating what he sees rather than simply reproducing it.
Why was Cézanne considered the "father of modern painting"? How did his work profoundly influence the generations that followed him? From Matisse to Picasso, from Braque to many modern and contemporary artists, his influence is considerable.
This tour invites you to take a fresh look at Cézanne's works, to place them in their context, and to understand the investigations that made him an essential figure in art history.
A tour designed by Calliopée – Art & Culture to deepen your discovery of the exhibition and better understand the evolution of painting at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Meet at the Grand Palais for a guided exploration of Cézanne's universe, his research, and his incredible legacy.
