Curated by Joachim Pissarro

Displacing the monographic privileging of the solitary genius in favor of fraternal pairings, MoMA is following the success of “Matisse Picasso” with a show devoted to the twenty-year artistic relationship between Cézanne and Pissarro. The exhibition (organized by the latter’s great-grandson, now a MoMA curator) offers as evidence of dialogic contact and mutual response some eighty-five paintings and eight drawings—portraits, self-portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, some of which were made when the artists worked side by side in the regions of Pontoise and Auvers. Get ready for more long lines!
