The Barnes Foundation s holdings of works by the renowned
Post-Impressionist Paul Cezanne (1839 1906) sixty-one oils on
canvas and eight works on paper are among the most significant in
the world. The Barnes Foundation was established in 1922 by
scientist, entrepreneur, and educator Dr. Albert C. Barnes, a
passionate supporter of European modernism. His virtually
unrivalled collection, which can only be viewed at the Barnes
Foundation, also includes exceptional paintings by Pierre-Auguste
Renoir, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and many others. Beginning in
1912, Barnes acquired works by Cezanne from major Paris dealers
such as Paul Durand-Ruel and soon ranked among the artist s most
prominent collectors. At the time, this expressed a pioneering
taste that Barnes shared with only a small group of enthusiasts,
even though Cezanne had been posthumously hailed as a father of
modern art at the turn of the twentieth century. The foundation s
impressive holdings of Cezannes never before published in a single
study in their entirety span every period of the artist s career
and include his largest rendition of The Card Players and one of
the three versions of The Large Bathers, one of his signal
testaments. This lavishly illustrated landmark volume is both a
work on Cezanne and his time, and an impetus for further study of
an artist whose oeuvre is at once luminous, austere, challenging,
and deeply confounding.

The portrait offers the possibility of observation and
introspection, and is at the same time one of the most private and
representative artistic genres. But what distinguishes the
specifically female gaze? On the occasion of the major fall
exhibition 2021 at Fondation Beyeler, this catalog brings together
nine women artists from Europe and America from the beginning of
modernism to the present day, whose works represent an outstanding

individual artists and their fascinating ways of reflecting on

Marlene Dumas, Frida Kahlo, Lotte Laserstein, Paula
