Product Description
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French painter who is regarded as one of the greatest of the post-Impressionists. Often called the "Father of Modern Art," his works and ideas were influential in the aesthetic development of many 20th-century artists and art movements. Reproduced here is a work from his later years, Terracotta Pots and Flowers (1891-1892), which saw Cézanne enter a new world of still life painting. This change in pace exemplified his desire for a new form of personalexpression as he sought to slow down and draw focus back to the everyday. Terracotta Pots and Flowers showcases Cézanne's intense study of still life compositions. His works such as this one explored the connections and harmonies between everyday objects. Here he arranges a red cloth, a rum bottle with straw binding and a light blue pitcher with potted geraniums inside the greenhouse at his father's estate near Aix-en-Provence. We are honoured to feature this pivotal painting from the BarnesFoundation, an educational institution based in Philadelphia, as the first release from our collaborative collection.
