Jenes unvergleichliche Spiel von Licht und Farbe im bildnerischen Werk von Paul Cezanne begründet seinen Ruf als einer der Wegbereiter der Moderne. Von Anfang an ganz eigene Wege gehend, rief seine Malerei in der zeitgenössischen Kunstkritik zunächst Unverständnis und Spott hervor. Trotz romantisch-barocker, impressionistischer und schließlich klassischer Einflüsse kann Cezanne auch heute noch keiner Strömung eindeutig zugeordnet werden. Doch welche konkreten Orte haben auf den Spross eine...

The incomparable play of light and color in Paul Cezanne's work was the foundation of his reputation as a forerunner of modernism. From the start he went his own way, and his paintings initially evoked a lack of understanding in art critics of the time, as well as ridicule.

Claude Monet (18401926) is one of the most admired and famous painters of all time, and the architect of Impressionism: a revolution that gave birth to modern art. His technique painting out of doors, at the seashore or in the city streets was as radically new as his subject matter, the landscapes and middle-class pastimes of a newly industrialized Paris.
