The Father of Modern Art: Cézanne | HENI Talks

[@photographedemode]

Thank you, one of the best talks on Cézanne that I've heard, and I've heard a lot of them. I worked a a museum that had 10 of his works on permanent display, every guide, mediator giving talks about Cezanne but yours is very complete in a short period of time.

[@kavitadhillon1859]

Sooo beautiful. I will worship Cezanne hereafter💜My eyes water due to the overwhelming feeling of respect for this great ARTIST 🕉️

[@andrewwebb4635]

Thank you for a lovely talk. Everything that explains facets of this fascinating artist is very welcome! For those that don’t follow these things, the Courtauld has been completely refurbished since then and hopefully displays pictures even better.

[@msultan5194]

The character and the beauty of this woman is just outstanding! Love the story and the gallery.

[@HENITalks]

Thanks for watching and your kind words!

[@cherylannebarillartist7453]

A quote by Maya Angelou comes to mind that I believe fit Cez’anne quite well: “ you are only free when you realize you belong no place- you belong every place- No place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.” Thank you for this wonderful bite!! ~c

[@johnshen3483]

wonderful introduction of the master, young lady did a fantastic job !!!

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

The description of Cézanne's works at the Courtauld Gallery made by Jacky Klein is absolutely fascinating. Not only is she scholarly but also truly didactic. I enjoyed her speech beyond words. HENI Talks, thank you so much for posting this video ! On a side-note, I've come across your channel thanks to the wonderful video you uploaded some hours ago: Making Magic: Inspiring Children with Art. I'm a great fan of Magic Lantern. Thanks again !

[@HENITalks]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Mia. We're really pleased you like our films and hope those to come inspire you equally. All best, the HENI Talks team

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

HENI Talks, thanks for your kind reply. They surely will ! All the best to you too and thanks again and again !

[@Pantone2]

A very clear and informative description of Cezanne's work in relation to his artistic intentions within the context of prevailing methods of the time.

[@GreatArtExplained]

Great talk thanks

[@bobshelley9468]

I just love Jacky Klein............ More, more, more........... Superb/smooth presentation and voice..........

[@BINKYism]

I love this video and presentation of Cezanne - tho' I am curious how our presenter does not see how the "vertiginous angle of the floor" behind the table at front at 10;11-14 is really another table top behind this smaller table on which the plaster caste stands - yet she is accurate that the angle are off-kilter

[@lydiarowe491]

Being an innovator in the time of Cezanne may have had strong criticism....but this broke through the contains of the day. Most courageous.

[@michaelbyrd7883]

I wonder the discussions we would get into if the internet was around in the 19th century.

[@mathstar4176]

Love 💕 that one with the lake on vacation with his wife and kids.

[@exserentia]

One of the tougher artists to process. As divisive as he is, also quite popular among curators. Good talk.

[@danielsoll5830]

„Not large in size but still monumental.“ ...defo one to remember...

[@josepartida1711]

Cézanne is one of my favorite artists. Hope I can see one of his paintings in person one day.

[@barbarawenger7161]

Where do you live. His works are in many american museums!😜

[@StephenS-2024]

At least you can see all of his person in paintings.

[@gogogaga3974]

Come 2 Paris

[@_Andy_A]

Really love the Courtauld gallery, such an incredible collection. I visited the Van Gogh self-portrait exhibition recently, not expecting any of the other impressionist work on show and was completely blown away by it all.

[@normanstratford9329]

Good explanation by the woman. He was the first painter to have tones of colour for representing space or objects in space. The rounded shape of an apple was one where the eye could also see over it and as we have stereo vision, then he was retuning the rules of perspective. This really lead him onto his paintings of the view towards St Victoire where the 2D surface becomes more important than the illusion of traditional space.

[@HENITalks]

Glad you enjoyed the film, Norman - great to hear you enjoyed Jacky Klein's knowledgeable insights. Thank you for your own thoughts too.

[@johnmulvey5121]

Very clear and well explained. I learned a lot in a few minutes. Thanks

[@mehrdadmohajer3847]

C. Pizarro - self a great Artist - was the first bliever of P. Cezanne´s ingenuity. The rest of them ( Imperssionists ) didn´ have that much of faith in him. Pizarro, however keept saying Cezanne is much more advanced than any of them. He saw Cezanne as a Master of different Art Classes for generation to come and he was right about that. Among genius One´s , i ´d like to mention these 2: Jean Baptiste Corot and John Brthold Jongkind 🌷. Thank you and Jacky Klein 😊

[@mariannapapoutsopoulou182]

Brava, madame! Paul Cézanne, what a great painter!

[@louisejffisher4630]

Kindest regards and thanks for maintaining such a wealth of knowledge with beautiful presentation's and facts for us ~ * ~

[@HENITalks]

Thankyou for your support

[@jennyhughes4474]

Thank you for this - and her enthusiasm is catching! I think I might have been to the Courtauld when I was a teenager but can't really remember, anyway I can't go now because I've got a brain injury plus I live in France, so it's great you make these and put them up here for all the people who can't visit = many thanks.

[@HENITalks]

Thanks for your kind words, Jenny. We're so pleased we can grant digital access to great institutions (and works of art!) to those who may not be able to travel. Stay tuned for many more insights! All the best, the HENI Talks team.

[@jacekpokrak9258]

fantastic video about Cezanne

[@vanessainnes-wagstaff7511]

Superb lecture, lovely to see, as I've been there and love the place. I'd love to see more of his work talked of there by her, get them all out of the storage for us! Thanks anyway.

[@HENITalks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kennethjameskirkpatrick1459]

[@BlackKettleRanch]

Excellent talk.

[@fbpliegorrivero8869]

Beautiful. I admire Cézanne's stubbornness. He was rejected by his peers, he had to go against his father's will, he obviously didn't have the ability to draw, his painting skills were rather poor, but with that very little he had, either support or abilities, he created a beautiful world of his own starting there and then an avalanche of freedom. Probably what explains this phenomenal experience of success is the word discipline.

[@salamander981]

Yeah Wooseong, and I get the silver medal !! Thank you Jacky, that was a fascinating film. Cezanne was a bit of a punk, he smashed the establishment rules and he didn`t give a shit. I love him for that.

[@HENITalks]

Thanks for taking the time to watch our film, Paul. We also admire Cezanne's vigour!

[@lifeisbeautiful2653]

I love this - will share with my students - THANK YOU. If is fabulous.

[@HENITalks]

So great to hear you used our film in this way. Did your students enjoy it too? Thank you for your kind feedback.

[@jamesscott1189]

Cezanne is a great and inspiring painter. For sheer beauty, I look back to Monet...and forward to Matisse.

[@abelardogreen]

The glow. They way they made paint to glow

[@VVhistory]

There were 4 pillars of art: Michelangelo, Titian, Caravaggio and Cezanne. All of them older than the other, from different eras that influenced the rest more than anybody (Sorry Rembrandt)

[@vinodrawat6160]

Great video thanks

[@HENITalks]

Thank you for taking the time to watch! Jacky's a true star.

[@jean-francoispayette92]

Paul Klee and Paul Gauguin said Cezanne our Father master Paul Cezanne

[@davidvanderveer5882]

How does he take so long on a painting with out it looking "added" to?

[@HENITalks]

Perhaps it's part of Cézanne's genius! Thank you for taking the time to comment, I hope you enjoyed the film.

[@kayem3824]

They wouldn't have taken long to do. In one session most probably. Quicker than the Impressionists.

[@edwardlobb931]

Gustave Courbet was the "Father of Modern Art". Born twenty years before Cezanne. If one can't accept Courbet, then behold: Monet was born two years after Cezanne, and Manet six years prior.

[@jean-francoispayette92]

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super art 1

[@HENITalks]

Yes, we're fascinated by Cézanne's super paintings too. Hope you enjoyed the film, Christian!

[@franziskabeilfu1902]

Nice talk, but what a pain to see these brilliant works in those clumsy frames, hung down the walls with big chains and clip-on lamps! Really!?

[@jacobdavidson7316]

Why are my school making me do this

[@luisibarra5993]

There are so many "fathers of modern art"... It will all depend on the inclination of the presenter. Goya for instance is said to to be the Father of a whole new era in Art... And so on. Cesanne did his contribution, no doubt about it, but the "father of modern art"? That is debatable.

[@vinodrawat6160]

She is looking like a painting .

[@expromanticart6491]

With all due respect, he is not the father of modern art. He is the one who inspired Cubism. However, Cubism itself is not much of a style. The fact that Picasso became the most famous artist of the 20th century had a lot to do with the spread of Cubism. Even Picasso abandoned it to move on, exploring other methods of painting. Just because Picasso said he was the father of us all does not make the statement true. The most significant art movement in the last century was and is Expressionism. It was a truly new style coming from the Fauvists. Then, two schools of German artists explored it much further.They (Fauvists) themselves were influenced by Van Gogh. The bold and quick brush stroke was emotionally provocative, and was among other reasons which made it a unique style. Jackson Pollock and other Abstract Expressionists were heavily using their techniques. The man who could easily be considered the father of modern art is really Delacroix. This space is too limiting to discuss and explain why. Please research the field if you are really into this.

[@HENITalks]

Great to hear another perspective on this! Thank you for taking the time to make this case.

[@expromanticart6491]

@@HENITalks Thank you and welcome, I am an artist myself. Look up expromanticism.com please. There are more readings there.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Well stated, thank you. I will keep this in mind as I view and study the works of Delacroix. In some ways I consider Gustav Courbet as one of the fathers of Modern Art. More for his vision and sensibility rather than his style, per se

[@HENITalks]

Thank you for another interesting take. I hope you enjoyed our film!

[@HENITalks]

Brilliant use of colour! Thanks for sharing your work with us, lovely to see.

[@jean-francoispayette92]

The structures composition of Cezanne and his IQ master nuances brain of Colours, Master Paul Cezanne , Paul Klee said CEZANNE ? the Best of uS , AND Paul Gauguin said the same ! Ouch, , and many others ......

[@jean-francoispayette92]

Cezanne his blues and grey nuances colours are so too much IQ intelligent for humain , this is the tragedie , too much brain Cezanne for human , just look nuances colors and structures like an architectures of Johann Sebastioan Bach Mathematics compo like French and English Suites for Harpsichord

[@123agidee_2]

Who thinks cezanne is classical?! Do they know what classical painting is

[@angeloperez6963]

Modern art sucks, Rennaisance for life!

[@NJHomeStaging]

Too many analyze paintings too much. It's a painting of trees. That's it. Plain and simple. No mystery about the trunks, the swaying of the branches, etc. It's a painting of trees.

[@zthetha]

Never in the field of art history has more bullshit been talked by so many over so little. Cezanne could not draw, could not paint, and could not talk sense about art. Why he became so popular among artists and arty farts is a mystery. The only reason I can think of is that like Bob Dylan years later who sang very badly - so badly that he was hailed as a genius - Cezanne cottoned on to the same con in his own field of endeavour. As for being the father of modern art... oh, come on... there is an old documentary on here about Paul Gauguin who really was the Father of Modern Art and only discredited because of the phoney moral hypocrisy of the time.

[@sehpich]

You are wrong! It is Manet, not Cezanne. Cezanne may be the father of Picasso's Cubism, but that is all. Study first like me, 40 years or more, then post.
