Artists' House Gallery's "Back To Cezanne" exhibit complements a special exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, "Cezanne and Beyond", to be held at the museum from February 26 to May 17, 2009. The museum exhibit features sixty of Cezanne's greatest works. It features, in addition, works by more than a dozen of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, who considered themselves influenced by Cezanne. These include such diverse masters as Matisse and Picasso, Jasper Johns and Ellsworth Kelly

For the "Back to Cezanne" exhibit at Artists' House, many artists who regularly exhibit at this gallery were invited to prepare at least one work of art reflecting the influence of Cezanne, or, instead, of his admirers. The boundaries are broad, and the results are varied and imaginative.

I am planning to be at the Sunday reception sometime after 1:30. See you then I hope!
