It's interesting as you say, that he opens his review with the quote from T.J.Clark because as I was writing this piece, Jerry Saltz had just published his beautiful review in New York Magazine of Cezanne's Card Players and posted it on his face book thread. For over a week, a very vibrant discussion took place about Cezanne's paintings by many different people.<br />Also, the morning the show opened, I was there and watched while other people were intently looking from painting to painting and in deep discussion with their friends.I don't think the last word has been written about Cezanne.Kyle Gallupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522800471258383718.post-42841915286899598022011-03-01T15:40:27.611-05:002011-03-01T15:40:27.611-05:00"I hope he was still gratified by the attenti..."I hope he was still gratified by the attention and respect the next generation of artists had for him."<br /><br />And for the generations after that.

It's interesting that he includes this quote from T. J. Clark because for more than a week MANY people conducted a vibrant discussion about Cezanne on Jerry Saltz facebook thread after he posted his beautiful review of Cezanne's Card Players on New York Mag's. site. <br /><br />Also the day Cezanne's Card Players opened, I was there early. After a hour or so there were people standing in the middle of the gallery looking at the paintings, from one to another and in deep discussion.<br /><br />Each new generation of artists and art viewers should have the opportunity to look at Cezanne's paintings anew and be free to discover the paintings for themselves.kyle Gallupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522800471258383718.post-39290844092237405972011-03-01T09:22:16.034-05:002011-03-01T09:22:16.034-05:00Wow!

I've been fretting for about a week about Peter Schjedahl's New Yorker review of the Cezanne show that he begins with a quote from T. J. Clark: "Cezanne, whose work was the touchstone for critical thinking and writing on art for more than a century, cannot be written about any more." Schjeldahl concludes, "...it's hard to argue otherwise." And in response to Picasso's remark, "What forces our interest is Cezanne's anxiety," he glibly writes, "We worry differently now." To all of which I say, Thanks, Kyle, for the reminder that Cezanne might still be worth looking at and thinking about, our "worries" notwithstanding.Carl Belznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522800471258383718.post-18728848499405194472011-03-01T04:30:59.003-05:002011-03-01T04:30:59.003-05:00saw this exhibition when it was on in London.

I've loved Cezanne's work for years, but this show gave one an idea of how he worked and how involved he was with each painting. An inspiration to all of us who try to paint.bvpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804331299617862772noreply@blogger.com
