| Philadelphia is the Only Venue for a Major Exhibition Exploring Cézanne's Impact on Artists of Succeeding Generations |
 The exhibition places substantial emphasis on artists of the present day. |
| PHILADELPHIA, PA.- In 1907, the French painter Paul Cézanne’s posthumous retrospective astonished younger artists, accelerating the experimentation of European modernism. Cézanne (1839-1906) became for Henri Matisse “a benevolent god of painting,” and for Pablo Picasso “my one and only master.” Cézanne’s inclusion in the ArmoryShow in New York in 1913 also offered American artists a newdirection. Cézanne & Beyond(February 26 through May 17, 2009) will examine the seismic shift provoked by this pivotal figure,examining him as form-giver, catalyst, and touchstone for artists who followed. It will survey the development of an artistic visionthat anticipated Cubism and fueled a succession of artistic movements, and will juxtapose Cézanne’s achievement with works by many whowere inspired directly by him, showing a fluid interchange of form and ideas. It will place his work in context with more recent artists like Ellsworth Kelly, Jasper Johns, and Brice Marden, who in quite different ways came to terms with the master of Aix-en-Provence. His profound impact on successive generations endures to the present day. The exhibition will present more than 150 works, including alarge group of paintings, watercolors and drawings by Cézanne, along with those of 18 later artists.

The Monmouth Museum
| The Monmouth Museum is one of the top five museums in New Jersey! The NJ Emerging Artists Series |
The Monmouth Museum NJ Emerging Artists Series is an ongoing program for artists in all mediums who are residents of NJ, who have never had a one-person show. The Nilson Gallery in the Monmouth Museum provides a unique and exciting opportunity for New Jersey artists to showcase their work. A very successful first series of six exhibitions was held during Summer and Fall of 2007 and through the Spring of 2008. Our Second Annual series began in the Summer of 2008 and featured oil paintings by Rick Buttari, and works in ink on paper by Linda Lee Nicholas. Currently on view are clay sculptures by Kathy Forer. The series will continue in the Spring of 2009 with works in glass by Yvonne Yaar, photographs by John Monahan, and works in acrylic on beveled wood by Darren McManus. The artists selected for this Series represent the diversity of talent in the State and demonstrate their creativity in a wide variety of media. Gallery talks scheduled during the exhibitions offer artists the opportunity to share insights on their work. The New Jersey Emerging Artists Series at the Monmouth Museum is supported by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
