“Picasso/Cézanne” examines the extent to which the former was influenced by the latter.  Accordingly, it is divided into four sections that map out Picasso’s evolution as an artist.  The first, “Picasso looks at Cézanne,” analyzes the years between 1900 and 1917, during which Picasso developed a Cezannian Cubism — new methods and techniques of experimentation that Picasso derived from his study of Cézanne.  The second, “Picasso collects Cézanne,” corresponds to the years during which Picasso’s growing collection of artwork revolved around his Cézanne masterpieces.  “Shared themes, objects, forms, and features,” the third section of the show, houses the works into which Picasso began to interject forms used by Cézanne, including still-life with fruit, men smoking, women in armchairs, and more.  Finally, the exhibition offers a peek into that time when “Picasso approaches Cézanne,” the significant years between 1959 and 1961 that Picasso spent painting in the castle of Vauvenargues, which is open to the public to complement the exhibition.

The “father of modern art,” Paul Cézanne is often credited with the beginnings of a transition between impressionism and cubism.  Matisse and Picasso are said to have called him “the father of us all.”  Picasso certainly studied Cézanne’s work to build his own technique, and Musée Granet explores that interaction of artist.  “I’ll say I know Cézanne!” Picasso said. “He was my one and only master! Of course I have looked at his paintings… I have spent years studying them…”
