Description
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) is widely regarded as the father of modern art. This authoritative study explores the evolution of his landscape, still-life, and figure compositions from his youth to his final years.
The painter's biography is vividly evoked through excerpts from his own letters and contemporary accounts, revealing a complex artist torn between the desire to master the past and explore the eternal qualities of nature. Cézanne sought to make Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of the museums.
This richly illustrated overview has been updated throughout with a new preface, offering a fresh perspective on the strength, vitality, and magnitude of Cézanne's achievement.
