Turn In the Road, Paul Cezanne (1881-1882)

Paul Cezanne was an artist who often took the road less
travelled, turning his back on the artistic norms of the time,
and instead, shifted his gaze and brush to peculiar vantage
points of his muse. Cezanne’s Turn in the Road wasn’t the turn in
his career that he may have hoped, the artistic roads of change
are winding, and because of this, Cezanne’s work wasn’t
celebrated until after his death. Eventually, this rebel in life
and art became one of the most important figures in modern art, a
true turn in the road.


HSBC proudly presents “Beyond the Frame” a look behind the bigger
picture of some of the world’s most important Impressionist art.
In this season we’re looking at the rebellion of the French
Impressionists – it wasn’t all dreamy brushwork, but a movement
that was rife with bravery, breaking stereotypes and smashing
perceptions. Across this series, we go back 150 years to discover
some of the surprising stories behind 6 iconic impressionist
artworks, -- one painting per episode.  Warning: this isn’t
your usual art history series. If you like what you hear in your
“Beyond the Frame” experience, see these renowned artworks for
