The Courtauld Cezannes

Saturday June 14, 2008
The Courtauld Gallery holds the finest group of works by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) in Britain. As the culmination of The Courtauld Institute of Art's 75th anniversary, the Gallery is showing the entire collection together for the first time. The importance of the collection lies not only in its exceptionally high quality but also in its wide range, with seminal paintings, drawings and watercolors from the major periods of the artist's long career. The Courtauld also holds an important group of nine hand-written letters in which Cézanne reflects upon the fundamental principles of his art. The Courtauld Cézannes, on view from 26 June to 5 October 2008, will be the first opportunity to enjoy this extraordinary collection in its entirety. Image details:
