I visited the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia on the way back from my New Jersey Workshop on my National Tour. I had seen the documentary movie a few years ago and always wanted to stop in and see what I have heard as the largest collection of Impressionist painters in the world.

Van Gogh, Picasso, Degas, and many more plus a very nice collection of Cezanne’s paintings. He is probably one of the all time great painters influencing plein air painting, impressionism, cubism and modern art. My Book on Plein air and how to go about it was inspired by Cezanne.

Card Players by Paul Cezanne

Cezanne felt frustrated and challenged through most of his life, not unlike how we all feel as painters. Even though it was quite a struggle with his father who wanted him to be a banker as he was.

You will learn so much by seeing his paintings and others at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia Pensylvania. It is one of my favorite or all time museums of paintings. My second being the The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown Ohio.
