Many critics have long considered Cézanne's watercolors simply tentative studies for his oils, and they are apt to be treated as wallflowers. The 74 watercolors on view in Manhattan's M. Knoedler & Co. form the biggest assembly of these fragile sketches since the 1907 memorial show in Paris, held a year after Cézanne died. They are priceless, rainbow-hued documents of his passionate, lifelong homage to nature, but Cézanne often treated them like so much scrap; he even lighted the stove in his Provençal studio with works that might...
...Aristocrats. The galleries with the most formidable pedigrees are Duveen, Wildenstein, Knoedler and Paul Rosenberg.

Manhattan's Forum Gallery will have a choice exhibition of sculptors' drawings. But most important will be this week's opening of a huge display of sculpture at the Guggenheim Museum (see color...
...Jean François Millet, and as Millet's fame ascended, Bodmer's diminished. Finally, in need of money, Bodmer was forced to sell part of his collection of Millet drawings and paintings. He died in 1893. His legacy of art was bought from Knoedler this summer by the Northern Natural Gas Co. of Omaha, whose board chairman, John Merriam, is a trustee of the Joslyn Museum. Northern keeps ownership of the art, but the museum becomes permanent custodian. Reported price...
