CEZANNE, PICASSO, AND THE REINVENTION OF PAINTING

Christopher Parrott via ZOOM

This two-day course will explore the many ways in which Pablo Picasso expanded upon the innovations of Paul Cézanne, and the enormous influence these two artists had on the history of painting. Although Cézanne's work was unappreciated for much of his life, the visual language he developed was enthusiastically taken up by the much younger Picasso - and parlayed into one of the most lucrative careers ever enjoyed by an artist. This lecture series will make the argument that although 20th Century Art as we know it is unimaginable without Picasso, Picasso’s work would have been impossible without Cézanne.
