CÉZANNE - RICHARD VERDI KARTONIERT (TB)

An updated edition of this classic survey  a thorough overview of Paul Cézanne's life and work.
For Picasso he was ?like our father'  for Matisse  ?a god of painting'. Paul Cézanne
(1839-1906) is widely regarded as the father of modern art. In this authoritative and
accessible study  Richard Verdi traces the evolution of Cézanne's landscape  still-life and
figure compositions  from the turbulently romantic creations of his youth to the visionary
masterpieces of his final years. The painter's biography - his fluctuating reputation and
strained relations with his parents  wife and close friend Emile Zola - is vividly evoked using
excerpts from his own letters and from contemporary accounts of the artist. Cézanne was torn
between the desires to create art and to seek inspiration - to master the themes of the past 
through his copying sessions in the Louvre  and to explore the eternal qualities of nature in
the countryside of his native Provence. In this way the artist sought ?to make of Impressionism
something solid and durable  like the art of the museums'. In this richly illustrated overview
Verdi explores the strength  vitality and magnitude of Cézanne's achievement.
