Cézanne et nous

Sep 23, 2026 - Jan 17, 2027

Grand Palais, Paris

An unprecedented exhibition dedicated to Paul Cezanne (1839–1906) and his artistic legacy. From Paul Gauguin to Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Joan Mitchell, Bridget Riley, and Peter Doig, nearly 180 artworks show how his work has been discovered, interpreted, and transformed, from the late 19th century to the present day.

In the late 1880s, when he was no longer seeking to exhibit his work, artists and collectors discovered Cezanne’s work in Père Tanguy’s shop. There they found a formal radicalism that reinforced their quest for a “pure” art, already well on the path to abstraction.
