Exhibition tour with Dominic Bilton
An afternoon repeat of the October Look-club event by popular request.
This exhibition celebrates an extraordinary collection of drawings and prints by Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) that has been gifted and placed on long-term loan to the Whitworth by gallerist, collector, author and publisher Karsten Schubert. This important act of generosity means that the Whitworth now holds the best collection of Cézanne works on paper in the United Kingdom, including a version of every print produced by the artist. This exhibition will be the first in the UK since 1973 to focus exclusively on Cézanne’s drawings and prints, giving a new insight into the complexity of his artistic practice and his dedication to overcoming his artistic limitations through careful study of the Old Masters.
These are amongst Cezanne’s most iconic images, his various paintings and studies of male bathers have intrigued several generations of artists, art historians and critics with their historic references but unsettling representations.
Dominic is studying for a postgraduate degree in art history at the University of Leeds and is also a member of the Gallery’s Visitor Team. He gives regular tours and talks in the Gallery. Dominic was recently shortlisted for the Visitor Experience of the Year awarded by the national Visitor Experience Forum, for his work on Queering the Whitworth.
