 阅读理解For more than a century, Paul Cézanne (1839-1906)has been celebrated as an artist's artist. For nearly as long, the banker's son from Aix-en-Provence has been credited with laying the groundwork for the 20th-century avant-garde（前卫派思想）. But the curators（负责人）of the largest Cézanne exhibition since 1997 decided that more could be learned about the great French post-impressionist simply by looking more closely at his paintings. Of the 80 oil paintings in this show, which will later travel to London's Tate Modern, eight have been subjected to infrared X-ray and other imaging technologies to determine how he made each mark. The curators' conclusion: What made Cézanne a pioneer and enduring inspiration is that in every landscape, still life, portrait, and figure painting, he was trying to communicate emotion with every brushstroke, building each image sensation by sensation. Unlike other artists, Cézanne seems "less concerned about what he is depicting than how he is building a picture," said Kyle MacMillan in the Chicago Sun Times. In paintings such as Still Life With Apples (1893-94),"standard rules of perspective are overthrown and the objects look like they are about to slide off the table. " But the impact that Cézanne had is obvious in this show, which "goes to great lengths" to highlight which works were collected by fellow artists, said J. S. Marcus in The Wall Street Journal. Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse all owned Cézannes, and Jasper Johns has loaned the show one of Cézanne's drawings of female bathers, a favorite subject of the earlier artist that is showcased in this exhibition's final room. The figures in these works "often have an impassive（冷漠的）quality，leading many critics to wonder if he filled his celebrated apples with greater emotion than his human subjects. "But not that the show tells you how to interpret Cézannes. "It's up to you to wind your own way. It's what Cézanne did, after all. " （1） What can we learn about Cézanne? A .
