Cézanne

Edited with text by Ulf Küster. Text by Louise Bannwarth, Gottfried Boehm, Fabienne Ruppen.

Paul Cézanne is unquestionably one of the most influential artists of the 19th century and a pivotal figure in the history of modern art. Often described as a pioneer of modernism, he broke away from conventions and redefined how we perceive space, structure and color.

This catalog accompanies a major exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler. Focusing on the most significant phase of Cézanne's career, it explores motifs that preoccupied him in his later years, including still lifes, portraits, landscapes and the iconic scenes of bathers. Featuring around 70 oil paintings and watercolors, the exhibition and catalog reveal the artist's unique treatment of form, light and atmosphere. Cézanne's intense observation of nature and his search for a visual language that conveys both permanence and change remain as compelling as ever.
