Paul Cézanne, who painted Bouquet of Peonies in a Green Jar around 1898, rarely signed his works. He told his mother that finishing things was a goal for imbeciles.

How does an artist know when a work is finished? Sometimes it's a deliberate decision. Other times, the decision is made by fate or circumstance. Now, an extensive exhibition at The Met Breuer Museum in Manhattan is exploring great works of unfinished art.



Jan van Eyck's Saint Barbara, painted in 1437, is mostly unfinished, and yet still a masterpiece.
