Description
Paul Cézanne's work has long been a touchstone for artists and writers seeking to understand modernity. His paintings continue to captivate audiences with their vivid colors and sense of disquiet, a hopelessness that underlies the splendid beauty of his art. In "If These Apples Should Fall", celebrated art historian T.J. Clark examines Cézanne's work in relation to that of other artists, including Camille Pissarro and Henri Matisse. Clark seeks to understand what held Cézanne's viewers spellbound, and how the artist's sense of disquiet relates to his achievement. Through a nuanced analysis, Clark sheds light on the uncanniness and beauty of Cézanne's work, revealing the complexities that have made him one of the most influential painters in modern art history.
