Cézanne

Thompson’s misshapen figures rhyme and merge with the background in ways that are heavily inspired by Gauguin, as well as late Cézanne and early Matisse.

Over several decades, up until his final days, Cézanne painted the stunning Mont Sainte- Victoire, the landmark blue-gray peak jutting up above the otherwise flat Provence, about 60 times.

Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cezanne all frequented the circus and adopted it as a topic.

Cezanne is full of details, too, of course, but we know that they will endure a lapse in our attention.

How can I enjoy Sargent so much, when I hold Cezanne up as the model artist of his era?

Expecting easy soundbites from the Bernadette Corporation is like wishing a Cezanne would look more like a Rockwell.

I think of Monet and Matisse and to a lesser extent Cezanne.

Cezanne, Degas, could afford not to sell their pictures because they had other resources.
