Paul Cézanne once described art as “a harmony parallel to nature.” Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Mondrian, Joan Mitchell, Bridget Riley, and Peter Doig all studied his work closely, though they came away from it with very different ideas. A new exhibition at the Grand Palais looks at Cézanne alongside the artists he influenced. Organized with the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d’Orsay, it brings together nearly 180 works, moving from Cézanne’s landscapes, still lifes, and portraits through more than a century of painting that followed. —Elena Clavarino
