Paul C zanne (1839-1906) was a French painter who is regarded as one of the greatest of the post-Impressionists. Often called the "Father of Modern Art," his works and ideas were influential in the aesthetic development of many 20th-century artists and art movements. Reproduced here is a work from his later years, Terracotta Pots and Flowers (1891-1892), which saw C zanne enter a new world of still life painting. This change in pace exemplified his desire for a new form of personal expression as he sought to slow down and draw focus back to the everyday. Terracotta Pots and Flowers showcases C zanne's intense study of still life compositions. His works such as this one explored the connections and harmonies between everyday objects. Here he arranges a red cloth, a rum bottle with straw binding and a light blue pitcher with potted geraniums inside the greenhouse at his father's estate near Aix-en-Provence. We are honoured to feature this pivotal painting from the Barnes Foundation, an educational institution based in Philadelphia, as the first release from our collaborative collection.
