WHAT: "Pioneering Modern Painting: Cezanne and Pissarro 1865-1885" at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
WHEN: June 26-Sept. 12.
HOW MUCH: $20. Free on Fridays from 4 to 8 p.m.
WHY GO: With nearly 90 works assembled from collections worldwide, the show is a window onto the development of two of Europe's most influential modern painters: impressionist Camille Pissarro and his student, postimpressionist Paul Cezanne.
A key feature of the exhibition is its pairings of numerous works by the two men, who often painted the same landscapes while living near each other in the French town of Pontoise. The paired paintings highlight the artists' distinct sensibilities and reveal important stylistic differences between them.
