Cézanne
TASCHEN 25 - Special edition!
A revolutionary approach to spatial and visual values
Perhaps best known for his exceptional apples and pears, Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was one of the founding fathers of modern art. Though he was underappreciated and highly criticized during his life, as time passed Cézanne's work came to be considered of inestimable importance. His method of experimentation with abstraction and perspective was an important precursor to modern painting, particularly cubism.
