Cézanne: 'The Father of Modern Art' | HENI Talks



HENI Talks

Paul Cézanne is perhaps one of the best-loved painters of Western art. Yet the popularity of his still life and landscape works has perhaps tamed the radicality of his vision in our own eyes. It is easy to forget that these seemingly traditional 19th century Post-Impressionist paintings caused ‘a landslide in art’.

Jacky Klein explains why we should see the ‘painter of apples’ as a pioneer for initiating new ways of looking and thinking about art. She uses Cézanne’s works in the Courtauld collection to trace how his style developed through the 1870s–1890s, pushing the frontiers of what painting could do, despite being met with derision in his own times.

Looking at Cézanne’s output afresh, Klein makes the case for the painter as being ‘father of Modern art’, his works inspiring countless Modern and contemporary masters since.

  1. There are so many "fathers of modern art"… It will all depend on the inclination of the presenter. Goya for instance is said to to be the Father of a whole new era in Art… And so on. Cesanne did his contribution, no doubt about it, but the "father of modern art"? That is debatable.

  2. A very clear and informative description of Cezanne's work in relation to his artistic intentions within the context of prevailing methods of the time.

  3. Really love the Courtauld gallery, such an incredible collection. I visited the Van Gogh self-portrait exhibition recently, not expecting any of the other impressionist work on show and was completely blown away by it all.

  4. You gotta keep pushing the boundaries to the limit, pull all the stops, if it goes extra terrestrial, don't care man ! 😎👽🐻🎨✌️💕🚐🎥🐎

  5. I love this video and presentation of Cezanne – tho' I am curious how our presenter does not see how the "vertiginous angle of the floor" behind the table at front at 10;11-14 is really another table top behind this smaller table on which the plaster caste stands – yet she is accurate that the angle are off-kilter

  6. Thank you for a lovely talk. Everything that explains facets of this fascinating artist is very welcome! For those that don’t follow these things, the Courtauld has been completely refurbished since then and hopefully displays pictures even better.

  7. A quote by Maya Angelou comes to mind that I believe fit Cez’anne quite well: “ you are only free when you realize you belong no place— you belong every place—
    No place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.”
    Thank you for this wonderful bite!!

  8. There were 4 pillars of art:
    Michelangelo, Titian, Caravaggio and Cezanne. All of them older than the other, from different eras that influenced the rest more than anybody (Sorry Rembrandt)

  9. The structures composition of Cezanne and his IQ master nuances brain of Colours, Master Paul Cezanne , Paul Klee said CEZANNE ? the Best of uS , AND Paul Gauguin said the same ! Ouch, , and many others ……

  10. C. Pizarro – self a great Artist – was the first bliever of P. Cezanne´s ingenuity. The rest of them ( Imperssionists ) didn´ have that much of faith in him. Pizarro, however keept saying Cezanne is much more advanced than any of them. He saw Cezanne as a Master of different Art Classes for generation to come and he was right about that. Among genius One´s , i ´d like to mention these 2: Jean Baptiste Corot and John Brthold Jongkind 🌷. Thank you and Jacky Klein 😊

  11. Gustave Courbet was the "Father of Modern Art". Born twenty years before Cezanne. If one can't accept Courbet, then behold: Monet was born two years after Cezanne, and Manet six years prior.

  12. Beautiful. I admire Cézanne's stubbornness. He was rejected by his peers, he had to go against his father's will, he obviously didn't have the ability to draw, his painting skills were rather poor, but with that very little he had, either support or abilities, he created a beautiful world of his own starting there and then an avalanche of freedom. Probably what explains this phenomenal experience of success is the word discipline.
