Overview
What you will study
- For the French art historian and critic Louis Gonse, “Manet [was] a point of departure, the symptomatic precursor of a revolution”.
- For Picasso, “Cézanne was like the father of us all”.
- But Manet himself stated that he had “no intention of overthrowing old methods of painting, or creating new ones”, and Cézanne’s later period as a recluse in Provence removed him from direct engagement with the younger generation.
- This Fathers of Modern Art - Manet and Cézanne course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art will provide an examination of the legacies of both Manet and Cézanne, paying critical attention to Clement Greenberg’s famous description of Cézanne as “the gateway to contemporary painting”.
