Grand Avenue:
AFTER CÉZANNE
11.20.05 - 06.19.06
Featuring a selection of works from MOCA’s permanent collection, After Cézanne offers a post-war examination of the figure by artists who have been inspired by the late 19th-century French modernist painter Cézanne. At the center of the exhibition is Roy Lichtenstein’s Man with Folded Arms (1962), which is based on a similarly titled painting by Cézanne. This work, along with other paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Diane Arbus, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Oursler, James Rosenquist, Allen Ruppersberg, George Segal, and others, can be seen to extend Cézanne’s formal investigations into 20th and 21st-century literal, abstract, and conceptual representations of the body. This exhibition is curated by MOCA Chief Curator Paul Schimmel and MOCA Manager of Exhibition Programs & Curatorial Affairs Susan Jenkins.
