DescriptionThis vertically-oriented, half-length figure painting depicts a standing man with crossed arms turned subtly to the viewer’s right. The man wears a brown bowler-style hat and a blue worker’s smock over a tan jacket and red cravat. A short white pipe extends out from the side of the figure’s mustache. The figure is silhouetted against a plain, light blue background that does not extend to the canvas edges, leaving large areas of canvas exposed. The palette is composed mainly of brown, blue, and red pigments that are thinly applied in short, loose strokes.Exhibition History

“I love above all else the appearance of people who have grown old without breaking with old customs.” —Paul Cézanne

 

Man with a Pipe is one of a group of studies related to The Card Players, one of Paul Cézanne’s most important pictorial projects. The local workers reminded Cézanne of the qualities he admired in another of his favorite subjects, Mont Sainte-Victoire—steadfast, unchanging, and monumental.

NOTES:


[1] A Vollard label preserved on the stretcher says “4215.” Few of the entries in Vollard stock book A are dated, but three entries preceding no. 3526 (that is, nos. 3310, 3505, and 3506) bear dates ranging from July to October 1899. Following no. 3526, the first dates to appear in the stock book are December 1899 and February 1900 (for nos. 3551 and 3553, respectively). Thus, Man with a Pipe was likely purchased between October and December of 1899. See e-mail from Jayne Warman, independent art historian, to Brigid M. Boyle, NAMA, June 4, 2015, NAMA curatorial files.


For the sale date of September 21, 1905 to the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, see letter from Guy-Patrice Dauberville, Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, to Caitlin Robinson, NAMA, July 21, 2004, NAMA curatorial files.


[2] A Galerie Bernheim-Jeune label preserved on the backing board reads: “Nº 15116 / Cézanne / Portrait d’ouvrier.” A second Bernheim-Jeune label, also preserved on the backing board, reads: “Nº 15116 / Cézanne / Petit fumeur.” The same stock number appears as a handwritten inscription on the stretcher.


For the sale date of March 8, 1907 to Louis Bernard, see letter from Guy-Patrice Dauberville, Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, to Caitlin Robinson, NAMA, July 21, 2004, NAMA curatorial files.


[3] Bernard passed away on September 17, 1916.


[4] A Galerie Bernheim-Jeune label preserved on the backing board reads: “Nº 20632 / Cézanne / Le Fumeur.” The same stock number appears as a handwritten inscription on the stretcher. For the purchase date of September 29, 1916, see letter from Guy-Patrice Dauberville, Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, to Caitlin Robinson, NAMA, July 21, 2004, NAMA curatorial files. For the sale date of October 7, 1916 to the Galerie Georges Bernheim, see e-mails from Jayne Warman, independent art historian, to Brigid M. Boyle, NAMA, June 4, 2015 and August 21, 2020, NAMA curatorial files.


[5] For the transfer date of December 31, 1917, see letter from Guy-Patrice Dauberville, Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, to Caitlin Robinson, NAMA, July 21, 2004, NAMA curatorial files. According to Jayne Warman, the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, Paris, transferred many paintings to its Lausanne branch during World War I. See e-mail from Jayne Warman, independent art historian, to Brigid M. Boyle, NAMA, June 4, 2015, NAMA curatorial files.


[6] The first publication to cite Pellerin as the owner is Georges Rivière, Le maître Paul Cézanne (Paris: H. Floury, 1923), 217. Inscriptions preserved on the canvas and stretcher say “Escalier” (staircase). Auguste Pellerin hung the painting in a stairwell in his mansion; see e-mail from Jayne Warman, independent art historian, to Brigid M. Boyle, NAMA, June 2, 2015, NAMA curatorial files. Pellerin passed away on October 18, 1929.


[7] Pellerin bequeathed his collection of ninety-two paintings to his children. His son, Jean-Victor Pellerin, received forty-five, and his daughter, Juliette Lecomte (née Pellerin), received forty-seven. See Françoise Cachin et al., Cézanne, exh. cat. (Paris: Éditions de la Réunion des musées nationaux, 1995), 573. Lecomte passed away on March 20, 1987.
