Paul Cézanne Books

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) belonged to the same generation as the founders of French Impressionism, but though he started out as a "plein-air" painter with the same aims as Pissarro and Monet, he soon parted company with them and began to engage in a solitary struggle to achieve an ideal of artistic perfection which goes far beyond the aims of Impressionism and makes him the father of modern art. The forty-nine plates of the present volume span the entire career of this earliest and greatest of modern painters. All the color reproductions are based on specially taken photographs and have been carefully compared to the originals. Several details show the master's brush-strokes in original size. -- Form publisher's description
