Immersed in Cezanne
Hailed as "the father of modern art", Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) inspired generations of artists active in the first half of the 20th century such as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Cezanne gave form to his subjects with energetic, abrupt strokes and powerful colors. Underlying these was the painter's quest to present his understanding of the rules of nature, the order of the world and the essence of matter. Seasons of Cezanne: The Immersive Experience, an ongoing digital exhibition at Today Art Museum in Beijing, guides the audience through the artistic evolution of Cezanne with digitalized, animated images of the French painter's works, showing nature and the world thriving and reviving in cycles, themes captured by Cezanne's vibrant brushwork. It introduces the uninitiated to a great artistic mind, inducing them to feel his pride and loneliness.
