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.

      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
