Art: Laura Cumming’s 10 best shows of 2022
A year of revelations spanned Arles to the African diaspora, an unsung 20th-century great, and still lifes that are anything but…
1. Cezanne
Tate Modern, London; October (runs until 12 March 2023)
Epochal show of mesmerising paintings by this revolutionary Frenchman – golden apples, monumental card players, the shimmering pyramid of Mont Sainte-Victoire, a Provençal winter as spare as a Japanese watercolour. No matter how often you go, their beauty remains irreducibly radical and mysterious.
2. Raphael
National Gallery, London; April
First ever exhibition outside Italy of the Renaissance prodigy, and what a revelation it was. Tactile, seductive, amorous, dazzlingly intelligent in every medium from chalk to paint, wool and bronze. Best of all: the informal portraits of friends, male and female.
