Cezanne

Published on the occasion of a major Cezanne retrospective (1996), this monumental volume reveals an artist whose entire existence was consecrated to painting, who effected an "absolute overthrow of the art of the painting." Thebook traces the full range of his stylistic evolution: dark and violent canvases of his early period, luminous works in which he comes to grips with Impressionism & paintings of his maturity that broke entirely new ground. IncludesCezanne's own statements plus an illustrated chronology. Images: 240 large colorplates and 260 black-and-white illustrations of paintings, drawings, watercolors and sketchbook pages. 600p.
