Paul Cézanne Books
January 19, 1839 – October 22, 1906
Paul Cézanne, a pivotal Post-Impressionist painter, laid the groundwork for the transition from 19th-century artistic concepts to the radically new art of the 20th century. His work forms a bridge between Impressionism and the emerging Cubism, earning him the influential title of "father of us all" from Matisse and Picasso. Cézanne's paintings demonstrate a mastery of design, color, composition, and draftsmanship, characterized by sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes. He meticulously constructed complex planes of color and small brushstrokes, creating works that are both a direct expression of visual sensation and an abstraction of nature, conveying his intense study of subjects and the complexities of human perception.
This volume on the life and work of Paul Cezanne brings together a diverse selection of material, drawn from his oeuvre of 800 paintings and 2000 drawings and watercolours, and also from his correspondence and memoirs of his friends.
