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.
