Cézanne and the Past<br />
Tradition and Creativity<br />
Judith Gesko<br />
Cézanne and the Past presents an overview of Paul<br />
Cézanne’s oeuvre and his approach to the past through<br />
some eighty to one hundred paintings, drawings and<br />
water colours by the artist supplemented by thirty to forty<br />
works (paintings, sculptures, gypsum copies, prints and<br />
illuminated books) by sixteenth to nineteenth-century<br />
masters. The works include loans from major galleries<br />
in Paris, London, New York, Boston and Chicago. The<br />
researchers of the Museum of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s, along with<br />
leading scholars from Great Britain, France, Germany and<br />
Switzerland examine the twentieth-century manifestations<br />
of the art of the master from Aix-en-Provence in the<br />
context of Cézanne’s reception in Hungary and twentiethcentury<br />
Hungarian cultural and art history. In addition they<br />
explore how Cézanne integrated the culture of Provence<br />
into his art along with the classical education of the<br />
provincial young man that he was and the art he saw in<br />
museums. The catalogue shows how out of the cogitations<br />
and struggles of an artist emerged an oeuvre that<br />
triumphed over tradition and brought it under its control.
