Cezanne - Picasso - Mondriaan
Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Den Haag, NL Netherlands

For the first time since 1956, the works of Cezanne, Picasso and Mondriaan are on display in a Dutch museum. The Gemeentemuseum in The Hague devotes this unique exhibition to the father of modern art, Paul Cezanne. Although Cezanne (1839-1906) is regarded as an impressionist, he was not concerned with depicting fleeting impressions. His interest lay in the object itself, as he sought to penetrate to its core with his knowledge of form, composition and color. It was this approach and other facets of his work that laid the first foundations of modern art. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Cella Gallery, North Hollywood, CA USA United States of America

Cella Gallery is pleased to present a new collection by�Mark Gleason that depicts the explorations of Persona. Exhibition dates are October 17 to November 14, 2009. Through costume or communion with animals, each painting�s subject is projecting a facet of self. Shown in moments of preparation and conflict, the meticulously crafted roles that each assumes or displays in public society crack, and a form of the inner self is revealed. Perhaps through this collection, the true Persona of Gleason is made known? - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
