There are some collectors who through foresight and dedication have
built truly outstanding art collections and shared them widely as
part of public museums. Among these were Samuel Courtauld in London
and Rasmus Meyer in Bergen. At the heart of each man's collection
were single artists who were their greatest passions: for Courtauld
it was Paul Cezanne and for Meyer, Edvard Munch. This unique
collaboration between KODE art museums in Bergen and The Courtauld
in London, celebrates these two remarkable collectors and two great
artists by showing masterpieces by Cezanne in Bergen and Munch in
London. The Courtauld is home to some of the most important
paintings by Cezanne, such as The Card Players and Montagne
Sainte-Victoire. "Cezanne. Masterpieces from The Courtauld at KODE
Art Museum" is the story about how collectors and artists became
aware of Cezanne. This publication not only presents ten key works
from The Courtauld along with Cezannes from Norwegian collections,
it also brings them together with eye witness accounts from the
early years of his profound influence, seen through the lens of the
Norwegian art scene around 1900. With essays by Barnaby Wright,
Oystein Sjastad and Karen Serres and an introduction by Line
Daatland. Forewords by Petter Snare and Ernst Vegelin van
Claerbergen.
