Finally, the work featured on the cover of this issue is Auvers, Panoramic View (1873–1875), by Paul Cézanne, part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. In the painting, the artist moves away from conventional landscape representation to offer a dynamic view from a distinctive angle, constructed through irregular brushstrokes that challenge the idea of finish and suggest a transition between Impressionism and Cubism.
