Cezanne to Malevich: Arcadia to Abstraction

By Judith Gesko

C zanne to Malevich, Arcadia to Abstraction explores the points of connection between French Post-Impressionist Paul Cezanne and various classical avant-garde artists, it examines the constructive artistic trends that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century. The publication seeks to establish the extent of and reasons for the relevance of Cezanne and the art historical relations associated with him to the present time. Cezanne's oeuvre is one of the pillars of modern art. His life's work in the areas of composition, visual effect and capturing reality served as the starting point for Avant-garde strivings after 1885. C zanne to Malevich examines the multifaceted interrelations between the great master of Aix and Russian, Dutch, German and Hungarian Constructive/Concrete artistic trends manifest in the context of form, composition, structure and colour. Besides works by Cezanne, works included by masters of De Stijl (Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg and Vilmos Husz r), Russian Avant-garde artists (Kazimir Malevich, Aleksander Rodchenko, Antoine Pevsner and Mikhail Larionov) and artists who participated in the Bauhaus (Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, L szl Moholy-Nagy and S ndor Bortnyik).
