The core of the exhibition focuses upon 75 paintings, works on paper and photographs by a diverse group of major American Modernists, among them Max Weber, Marsden Hartley, Charles Demuth, Morgan Russell, Man Ray and Arshile Gorky, to show how Americans from across the United States, including the Southwest, responded to Cézanne's themes, process, and style. The primary emphasis is on the work of American artists, selected works by Cézanne are included to illustrate his impact on their work. These comparisons will help to establish stylistic and thematic influences, especially in terms of the subject matter categories of still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and bathers. This exhibition serves to recreate the path of influence that the artists themselves experienced. Cézanne and American Modernism demonstrates resemblances between Cézanne and American artists to convey deeper meanings of their engagement with Cézanne as, in Hartley's words, "the gateway for our modern esthetic development, the prophet of the new time."
