| TOMORROW, FRIDAY NIGHT: Alex Danchev will give us a Multimedia Presentation and discuss in detail his New Book Cézanne: A Life | |
Alex Danchev, acclaimed British Biographer and Professor, will give us a Multimedia Presentation, discuss in detail and Author Autograph his New Book Cézanne: A Life. Co-sponsored by Rainy Day Books & The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Alex Danchev will travel all the way from his Home in Nottingham, England to give us a Multimedia Presentation and discuss in detail his definitive new portrait of the artist Paul Cézanne. Alex will Present in only six cities (Kansas City, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Greenwich, CT). This will be a rare opportunity to hear about and discuss Paul Cézanne, the Master Painter.
One of the most influential painters of his time and beyond, Paul Cézanne was the exemplary artist-creator of the modern age who changed the way we see the world. With brisk intellect, rich documentation, and eighty-eight color and fifty-two black-and-white illustrations, Alex tells the story of an artist who was originally considered a madman, a barbarian, and a sociopath. Beginning with the unsettled teenager in Aix, Alex takes us through the trials of a painter who believed that art must be an expression of temperament but was tormented by self-doubt, who was rejected by the Salon for forty years, who sold nothing outside his immediate circle until his thirties, who had a family that he kept secret from his father until his forties, who had his first exhibition at the age of fifty-six, but who fiercely maintained his revolutionary beliefs. Alex shows us how the beliefs Cézanne held and the life he led became the obsession and inspiration of artists, writers, poets, and philosophers from Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to Samuel Beckett and Allen Ginsberg.
This Event is Friday, November 9, 2012 at 7:00 PM at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Atkins Auditorium, 4525 Oak Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111. Please enter through the Bloch Building doors from the Parking Garage.
