Cezanne at Art Institute Chicago

The exhibition is the first major retrospective of the artist's work in the United States in more than 25 years and the first exhibition on Paul Cezanne (French, 1839–1906) organized by the Art Institute of Chicago in more than 70 years. Planned in coordination with Tate Modern, the ambitious project explores Cezanne's work across media and genres with 80 oil paintings, 40 watercolors and drawings, and two complete sketchbooks. This outstanding array encompasses the range of Cezanne's signature subjects and series—little-known early allegorical paintings, Impressionist landscapes, paintings of Montagne Sainte Victoire, portraits, and bather scenes—and includes both well-known works and rarely seen compositions from public and private collections in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. The show opened on May 15 and will be on view until September 5, 2022.
The exhibition also illustrates Cezanne's pioneering trail for successive generations of artists. Through these complementary perspectives—of art historians, practicing artists, and conservators—this once-in-a-generation exhibition reframes Cezanne, a giant of art history, for our own time.
Cezanne is curated by the Art Institute of Chicago's Gloria Groom, Chair and David and Mary Winton Green Curator, Painting and Sculpture of Europe, and Caitlin Haskell, Gary C., and Frances Comer Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, and the Tate Modern's Natalia Sidlina, Curator, International Art. The show will be accompanied by an illustrated scholarly catalog published by the Art Institute of Chicago and distributed by Yale University Press. It features thematic essays by the curators and contributions from an international selection of artists invited to write about individual artworks in the show.
