About this Item

This volume is published in conjunction with the exhibition Cezanne held at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, Paris, September 25, 1995 to January 7, 1996, the Tate Gallery, London, February 8 to April 28, 1996, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, May 30 to August 18, 1996. This volume contains 240+ color plates and 262 B&W Illustrations. Paul Cézanne (1839 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne is said to have formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects. Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne "is the father of us all". The 1907 Cézanne retrospective at the Salon d'Automne greatly affected the direction that the avant-garde in Paris took, lending credence to his position as one of the most influential artists of the 19th century and to the advent of Cubism. This large and very heavy volume, reflecting the high quality of the paper used, 600 pages measuring 304mm X 227mm is in fine condition in a near-fine French-fold dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A truly beautiful book that would be a cornerstone to and Cezanne collection. This very heavy volume will require additional postage.
