Los 429 | PAUL CÉZANNE (1839-1906)
Études de têtes: Paul Cézanne fils et un enfant
pencil on paper
4 7⁄8 x 8 1⁄2 in. (12.4 x 21.5 cm.)
Drawn circa 1886-1887
The three beautiful Cézanne drawings presented in this sale have been selected by gallerist, collector, author and publisher Karsten Schubert, just months before his untimely death in 2019.
A great connoisseur of Cézanne’s work, Schubert moved to England from Berlin after being lured by a friend to travel there, and fell immediately in love with London. There, he quickly became widely respected as a dealer in contemporary art, but his taste as a collector was much more conservative. He played an unparalleled part in promoting the group that would come to be known as the Young British Artists, and became a private artists' representative working with a select number of them, most famously Bridget Riley. In fact, it was through Riley, who had been deeply invested herself in Cézanne’s work form an early age, that Karsten Schubert came to a deeper understanding of the work of the French artist, whose drawings he started buying frantically, and continued to do so until the very end of his tragically interrupted life.
‘Cézanne always posed a problem for me.’ He would say in a conversation with the curator and art historian Yuval Etgar ‘That’s why I never managed to let go of him. On the contrary, the obsession seems only to be getting worse with time.’ […] ‘I bought my first Cézanne […] around 1983 or 1984. I did it out of sheer curiosity, not connoisseurship.’ (Exh. Cat., Ce´zanne at the Whitworth, the Karsten Schubert bequest, Manchester, 2019, p. 16).
Almost forty years later, the result of this passionate acquisition process – Karsten Schubert’s wonderful collection of Cézanne’s drawings and prints – has been generously bequeathed to the Whitworth Art Gallery through a process started in 2017 and completed just after his death. This important act of generosity means that the Whitworth now holds the best collection of Ce´zanne works on paper in the United Kingdom, including a version of every print produced by the artist.
