I found out that there is a large Cezanne exhibition at the Tate, London. Stumbled upon this Youtube clip. Well, it is almost ending. (ending March 12th, 2023). The largest Cezanne exhibition in the last 30 years in the UK.
Checked out the Tate site
At the time, still life was, at least traditionally, considered the least important of art genres, but he wanted to show the art establishment just how meaningful these modest objects could be. ‘With an apple, I will astonish Paris!’ he declared.
It reminded me of the Cezanne exhibition at the Chicago Art Institute that I visited in June, 2022, the first major retrospective of the artist’s work in the United States in more than 25 years.
And of course they are related. I completely forgot, but The Art Institute of Chicago organized this with Tate. So, the art work that I saw last year is now in Tate London.
It all came back to me. That the Cezanne exhibit experience in Chicago was one of the most memorable, and impactful that I have ever experienced (I need to add this to the photo essay section in the future). I would have loved to see it again, at the Tate London. Especially since I have never been to London.
I need to survey the word more closely to know what other significant exhibitions are on at any given time.
This we will do at Balse.
