Mr and Mrs Cezanne  by boxplayer

Mr and Mrs Cezanne

Apparently they lived together unmarried for quite a while before eventually tying the knot. At the Cezanne exhibition at Tate Modern.

Restless night probably after the mild peril of Puss in Boots and the Japanese bento box after. Perishing when we woke and snowing a little. The snow never amounted to much but it remained bitter and sleety/rainy all day, the wind stinging your face.

The exhibition was superb - a whole range of works from all periods of his life, and loans from all over the world including a lot from the states which you might not normally get to see. Classics like his still lifes with apples, scenes from the south of France and of course his bathers. Always wonderful to get up close to his tactile 'constructive stroke'.

Scuttled quickly through the chilly rain to the Real Greek after for a late mezze lunch before heading home early to miss the rush hour.

3 good things
1. New CD from Leveret arrived.
2. Though busy, the exhibition was never horribly mobbed and it was easy to spend a good period enjoying the individual paintings.
3. Art pass - gets you half price off exhibition tickets.

They both look quite severe, but I guess that's how they were captured back then. Still, the artwork is beautifully executed

I love Cezanne, I have seen a few works but would love to see a whole exhibition.

They both look rather glum don't they.

What a serious looking pair! That is an exhibition I would like to see.

Next to Renoir and Degas, he was always one of my favorites. I liked his use of color and the heavier application of oils on his canvas.

Lovely pair, and the exhibition sounds really good.

I spent a year in Provence and am particularly fond of his paintings of that region. He's one of my favourite impressionists.
