Paul Cézanne and Auguste Renoir established themselves as two great masters of French painting in the last quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. From the Impressionism of their beginnings to their maturity, the two artists never ceased to trace a singular trajectory, expressing themselves in different styles, rigour and geometry for Cézanne and rounded harmony for Renoir, with nevertheless many points of convergence: landscapes, still lifes, portraits, nudes up to the great late bathers constitute common fields of experimentation for the two painters.

The 38 works by these two artists conserved at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris and brought together by the art dealer Paul Guillaume (1891-1934) and his wife Domenica, form the heart of this exhibition. This corpus provides an overview covering a large part of the two painters’ career, from the 1870s until their death. The selection of works in the exhibition is completed by additions from the Musée d’Orsay collection and three modern paintings by Picasso and Kees Van Dongen from the Musée de l’Orangerie.
