Cézanne-Needlepoint for the Spring season
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
HURRY, if you want some wonderful inspiration for a needlepoint project for the Spring and you live in the mid Atlantic area, take a trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and see the special exhibit: “Cézanne and Beyond.”
The exhibit ends on May 31, 2009 and is fabulous.
It also showcases some of the artists that were greatly influenced by 
Cézanne such as Marsden Hartley, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Piet Mondrian.
I really like the mystique of Lake Annecy by Cézanne as well
The link for the exhibit in Philadelphia is: http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/312.html.
The following is an excerpt from the museum’s website describing Cézanne.
“The French artist Paul Cézanne (say-ZAHN), who lived from 1839 to 1906, is widely considered to be the
father of modern art. His life and work have inspired artists for over a century. Some were impressed
by his single-minded pursuit of an artistic vision. Others were inspired by his close observation of nature.
His distinctive approach to painting opened many possibilities for other artists to explore. In the painting of
Mont Sainte-Victoire (for example, he used separate touches of paint to create
a color harmony throughout his composition.After 1878, he spent much of the rest of his life painting in Provence.
Relatively isolated from the Paris art scene, Cézanne pursued his own artistic path. While the Impressionists depicted
changing light and atmospheric effects, he was more interested in studying the underlying structure of the landscapes he painted.
He said, “I wanted to make of Impressionism something solid and enduring like the art in museums.”
