The painter stars alongside Van Gogh and Gauguin in an exhibition of treasures from the Pearlman Collection. Plus Wes Anderson's fictional artwork Boy with Apple, and a 'memory wound' in Norway – all in your weekly art multipack
Exhibition of the week
Cézanne and the Modern
The awkward, isolated, thoughtful eye of Cézanne digs deep into the structure of things as he tries to paint not the passing show but the inner truth of nature. That struggle leads him to the discovery that everything is ambiguous and there are no certainties, as his pictures start to break up into planes of light. He and other founders of modern art, including Gauguin and Van Gogh, star in this exhibition of treasures from the Pearlman Collection.
• Ashmolean Museum, Oxford OX1, from 13 March until 22 June.

He fled the Nazis for a British boarding school – then made a shocking drama about segregation in the deep south. Michael Roemer talks fate, family and sadistic governesses
The first time Michael Roemer set foot in the American south, something pinged in his brain. He had never been there before; he grew up in Germany and Britain, but that day in segregated Alabama in the early 1960s, "I recognised everything. It was immediate. I said, 'Oh, I know this. I know what this feels like.'"
In the last 10 days, I have seen three films by Roemer: two documentaries and Nothing But a Man, his first feature, shot in 1963. The documentaries – Dying, a short piece following three people in the last few months of their lives; and Cortile Cascino, a study of a slum in Palermo, Sicily – are 40 years old and hard to get hold of. Nothing But a Man...

The handyman never looked so good. Kate Moss on May 4, 2009. From PatrickMcMullan.com.London's art crowd let its hair down and threw some shapes on the dance floor last week at the annual fund-raiser for the Whitechapel Gallery. Committee members had convinced an array of singers to perform at the so-called Art Plus Music Party, which in many cases displayed impressive art pedigrees. First up was London-based Bishi, followed by singer songwriter Jack Penate, who debuted a song inspired by Frank Auerbach’s art. Designer Pam Hogg and actress Margo Stilley sipped drinks as Natasha Kahn, of doppelgänger band ego Bat for Lashes, abandoned her usual look in favor of a blond wig. Kahn was accompanied by a string quartet with a backdrop of Andy Warhol’s Kiss.
