Portrait of Madame Cézanne (sometimes Portrait of Mrs. Cézanne) is a 1962 Pop art painting by Roy Lichtenstein. It is a quotation of Erle Loran’s diagram of a Cézanne painting of the same name. It was one of the works exhibited at Lichtenstein’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The work became controversial in that it led to a reconsideration of what constitutes art.Lichtenstein and Loran sparred in the press and art critics were intrigued by the viewpoints of the two.
