Paul Cezanne: 1836-1906, Pioneer of Modernism

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 C矇zanne (1839-1906). In Paris, but above all in Provence, C矇zanne 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.
