In the words of Matisse and Picasso, Paul Cézanne was the 'father of us
all', his approach to color and perspective paving the way for later
modernist art movements such as Cubism and Expressionism, as he moved
beyond the figurative tradition and towards abstraction.
This book charts Cézanne's journey as an artist, his involvement with
the Impressionist movement and his importance as a leading
Post-Impressionist. It explores the places where he lived and worked,
his personal life and friendships, and the artistic influences that
helped to shape his remarkable vision of the world. This biographical
detail is set alongside a selection of his brilliant paintings, allowing
you to trace the evolution of his artwork.
