This article is discusses the art exhibition "Cézanne in Provence," at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The show consists of portraits and still lifes but much of it is given over to the landscapes of Provence, a department in the south of France. Cézzane's role as a revolutionary role as a forerunner of the Modernist movement in art is discussed.

The art colonies of New England played a valuable role in fostering Modernism in American art in the early 20th century. But they also contributed to the creation and promotion of a sense of regional identity, the subject of ''Call of the Coast: Art Colonies of New England,'' a delightful exhibition at the Florence Griswold Museum developed in collaboration with the Portland Museum of Art in Maine. Edward Hopper, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri and George Bellows were among the numerous important artists who at one time lived, visited and worked at art colonies in New England. They came together out of camaraderie and a desire to work among supportive friends and peers away from worldly distractions, and they were drawn to the natural beauty and variety of the New England landscape.
