Portrait of Cézanne
1874
Before Paul Cézanne became the temperamental 'Father of Modern Art,' he was a student learning the ropes from his older friend and mentor, Camille Pissarro. This sketch captures Cézanne looking rugged and intense in 1874, sporting his signature beard and flat cap, likely during their time painting side-by-side in the French countryside. It’s a rare, intimate glimpse of the two Impressionist giants hanging out, showing the deep bond between the only artist to exhibit in all eight Impressionist shows and his famous protégé.
