ECR French Nineteenth-Century Art Network presents:
Cezanne 2025: New Directions in Cezanne Studies
Thursday 4 September 2025
1500 (BST) // 1600 (CEST) // 1000 (EDT) // 0700 (PDT)
2025 has been a pivotal year for Cezanne studies, with a variety of projects, exhibitions, and scholarly research all coming to fruition. Currently centered on Aix-en-Provence, these include, but are not limited to, the current exhibition Cezanne au Jas de Bouffan taking place at the Musée Granet (Aix-en-Provence), the restoration of both the artist’s family home (the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan) and his final studio, the Atelier des Lauves. 2026 marks the 120th anniversary of his death and will see further projects materialise such as such as the Art Institute of Chicago’s long-awaited online scholarly catalogue of works by Cezanne. This Network Session will be a chance to explore the present and future of Cezanne studies. Drawing upon scholars, curators, and conservators working across a variety of projects, this session will not only illuminate the wealth of research brought forth from these endeavours, but also their interconnectedness and future opportunities that will advance and expand studies around this thoroughly modern artist.
