What is the exhibition about?
Seen as one of the fathers of modern painting, Paul Cézanne deeply influenced 20th-century artists. “Cézanne et nous” brings together more than 170 works to show how his approach to form, colour and the structure of a painting inspired generations of artists.
The exhibition is organised by the Centre Pompidou, closed for renovation, which is staging part of its programme at the Grand Palais.
