Cézanne
Cézanne's quest for "a harmony parallel to Nature"
He was the founding father of modern art, the grand master who pointed painting forward on its way from Impressionism to the 20th century: Paul Cézanne (1839-1906).
In Paris, but above all in Provence, Cézanne quested tirelessly for "a harmony parallel to Nature" - discovering it in still lifes of apples, in bathers, or in the renowned landscapes of his beloved Montagne Sainte-Victoire.
This book discusses this extraordinary artist's major works and his theories of painting and colour.

"Deux ouvrages mettent en regard la vie et l`œuvre de Cézanne. Ces récits vivants, ponctués d`anecdotes, rappellent la place singulière du peintre dans le milieu artistique de la fin du XIXe siècle. La qualité des reproductions sert d`analyse des tableaux qui apporte un nouvel éclairage sur les ambitions de l`artiste, ses doutes, ses tâtonnements et sa souffrance devant l`incompréhension du public. Deux livres précieux pour qui cherche une approche à la fois accessible et subtile de Cézanne."
