Cézanne and American Modernism

Currently on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art

The Montclair Art Museum, in collaboration with The Baltimore Museum of Art, presented the first exhibition to examine Cézanne’s profound influence upon the development of American modernism in this country and abroad. Cézanne and American Modernism began with an intimate display of between 10-15 key paintings and works on paper by Cézanne. This gallery recreated, in part, important exhibitions in which his work was introduced to American artists - at Alfred Stieglitz's renowned gallery 291 in 1910 and 1911, the Armory Show of 1913, the Montross Gallery in 1916, and at museums, including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1920, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1921, and the Museum of Modern Art in 1929.
