In March 2010 in Saint -Petersburg the international conference "Russia and the Global Cezanne Effect, 1900-1950" will bring together major Cezanne scholars from across the globe. The conference theme is highly relevant today, reflecting a recent interest in the global reaches of modernist practice and art historyЎЇs continued fascination with Paul Cezanne's life and art.

The conference will be held over a three day period, and an international program committee of prominent Cezanne-specialists has been formed to ensure a high intellectual standard for the conference. Speakers will present on modernist art from 10 countries (Russia, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, USA, India, Japan and Argentina). We expect that over 400 people from more than 20 countries will attend the conference.

Parallel with the main session a special one will be devoted to the fine art professional management today. It will consist of several workshops provided by the most specialized persons of art from Russia and abroad. The topics of the workshops will touch, among others, marketing and PR, social networking and Internet, art banking and fundraising in the art sphere.

In addition to the traditional collected articles usually published after a conference, an online translation of the event will be provided as well. This means that, in theory, everyone who has access to the Internet can take part in the conference.

The number of participants will be over 300, fine art lovers, academics, art critics, representatives of the largest International museums, curators of international exhibitions, employees of the leading global Mass Media and diplomatic personnel.

The international coverage, the geographic breadth of the invited audience and the technologically advanced facilities will make this event the first of such quality and reach in the new history of Russia and in the study of global modernism at large.
