1. Cezanne in Provence

The year 2006 marks the centenary of the death of Paul Cezanne (1839-1906), a founding father of modern art, who created some of the most powerful and innovative paintings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His achievement will be celebrated in a major international exhibition of some 120 of his greatest oil paintings and watercolors of Aix-en-Provence, its people, and its surrounding countryside. Cezanne in Provence (January 29 through May 7, 2006) is the first exhibition to explore the artist's complex emotional engagement with his birthplace through some of his most original and compelling landscapes; penetrating portraits of friends, employees, and family members; and the monumental series known as the Bathers. Learn more about the artist, his works, and the exhibition on our Web site.

2. Online Collection Tours: Paul Cezanne, French Painting of the 19th Century

How should we look at Cezanne? Picasso regarded him as a "mother hovering over," Matisse as "father to us all." And where does Cezanne fit into the larger context of 19th-century French painting? Visit our Web site to learn more about iconic works by Cezanne in the National Gallery's collection and take online tours of works by his contemporaries.
