When visitors arrive at London’s Tate next month, they might be surprised to encounter the subject of its blockbuster exhibition: Paul Cezanne—minus the accent. The museum is removing theover the “e” in the artist’s last name in keeping with Philippe Cezanne’s decision to spell his grandfather’s name as it would have appeared in his native Provence.
The move is a nod to “continue to look at Cezanne afresh,” according to a Tate spokesperson. Ashraf Fayadh has been freed from a Saudi prison after 8 years and 8 months following his arrest in 2014 for a list of offenses including “objecting to fate” and “having an illicit relationship with women.” Fayadh is of Palestinian origin, but was born in Saudi Arabia and helped boost its contemporary art scene at home and abroad.
