The Smithsonian's National Gallery just opened a new show, Cezanne in Provence, with 117 works by Cezanne. This site is a great way to learn about the artist and his works. It showcases 12 "motifs" - locations that inspired the art. The motif pages include information about the place and Cezanne's relationship with it, photographs of the place, and several examples of works Cezanne painted there. Kids, who will find the text too dense and technical, will love looking at the art works. They can explore the works by zooming in on particular parts.
