Cézanne and Us at the Grand Palais
Presented in Galleries 3 and 4, Cézanne and Us examines the influence of Paul Cézanne through works by artists including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin and Piet Mondrian.
The selection also includes Joan Mitchell, Bridget Riley and Peter Doig. These later figures broaden the exhibition beyond Cézanne’s immediate circle, allowing visitors to follow his influence across different periods and artistic practices.
The number of works makes Cézanne and Us the main event of the day. For a couple interested in looking carefully, one smaller museum beforehand leaves a better rhythm than trying to fit several major collections into the same schedule.
The Grand Palais sits along the Champs-Élysées axis. Its position connects the exhibition naturally with avenue Marceau and the museums around avenue du Président-Wilson, without requiring a stated walking time between the hotel and the venue.
