Almost any Cézanne painting would have done because nobody rendered essence better than he in still lifes, portraits and especially the Provencal landscapes for which he is renowned.
Stunning examples of all three turn up in 'Cézanne in Provence', the sumptuous survey of his lifelong obsession with the sun-drenched Mediterranean now at the National Gallery of Art. More than a collection of greatest hits, the exhibition demonstrates how this morose and reclusive artist became the bridge between impressionism and modernism, the Edenic world of Monet and the gridded domain of Mondrian.
