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.

Washington’s Crossing and 
the Battle of Princeton

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.
