Cezanne and Beyond By Phyllis Gotkin June 26, 2 p.m. (Bradford movie theater) He’s known as the father of modern art. He created more than 900 paintings and 400 watercolors. His work laid the foundations of transition from late 19th century impressionism to early 20th century Cubism, inspiring generations of artists. Yet French Post-Impressionist Painter Paul Cezanne was long misunderstood as a “crude” painter by critics, who failed to grasp his structural approach to art. We’ll review an array of the artist’s work along with works created by artists that followed Cezanne’s approach well into the 1900s. Greats like O’Keefe, Hopper, Pollack and Picasso. 44 Washington’s Crossing and the Battle of Princeton By Herb Kaufman June 29, 2 p.m. (Bradford movie theater) George Washington once said, “Real men despise battle, but will never run from it.” The Battle of Princeton is one such example. Suffering multiple defeats by the Brits at the end of 1776, including being forced out of New York, General Washington crossed to safety in Pennsylvania. Determined to seize the initiative and fight on his own terms, Washington steered the Continental Army across the Delaware river in a blinding snowstorm on Christmas night. Pursued by the Brits, Washington gambled by flanking the Red Coats and, ultimately, defeating the British garrison at Princeton. Self-Portrait, 1850 | Paul Cézanne | Public Domain
