Exposure Time - NJ Repertory Theater

In the nascent days of photography, sitting for a portrait was no mean feat and the art of capturing a photo was physical labour and highly competitive. It was during this time that an ambitious woman, Julia Cameron, went head-to- head with the neurotic Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, in an attempt to become Britain’s premier photographer. The pawn in their battle was Alice. Sometimes the real story is as mad as the made up one! Recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award.

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.
