Chasing Cezanne 
Our hero, glamorous art photographer Andre Kelly, is on assignment for glamorous DQ Magazine–run by the glamorous Camilla Porter–in Cape Ferrat on the (you guessed it) glamorous C?te d’Azur. Snooping around an ancestral pile for some snaps, by chance he spies Old Claude, the ancient retainer of the immensely wealthy Denoyer family, packing the family Cezanne into a plumbing van. Puzzled, Andre investigates, and the game is afoot. Peter Mayle’s latest effort, Chasing C?zanne, is a whodunit that shows good manners and impeccable taste. It takes its characters–graduates of all the best schools, of course–to some of the world’s most posh locales. The plot device is high rent, too: a purloined painting worth a cool 30 million dollars. To call this book lightweight seems unfair and boorish besides. There’s lots of travel, lots of opulence, lots of opportunities for Mayle to describe Paris and Provence, and all the yummies you’ll find in both places. Who can worry about a mystery when the food’s so delectable? –Ida Kulest

Impressions of Light: The French Landscape from Corot to Monet
This large, lavish journey through the art of the 19th-century French landscape offers a host of masterful works, among them Corot’s Forest of Fontainbleau, Millet’s End of the Hamlet of Gruchy, Renoir’s Rocky Crags at L’Estaque, and Monet’s Rue de la Bavolle, Honfleur. As is often the case, however, some of the most wonderful things to see are also the least expected: rare and unusual monotypes by Degas, three states of a softground etching by Pissarro, and numerous works by some of their lesser-known but equally important contemporaries. Unlike previous books on the topic, Impressions of Light presents a unique and stunningly complete group of work that introduces a new level of complexity into the discussion of French landscapes. Rather than considering the landscape as a steady, linear development and the product of a single medium, it takes into account the many crosscurrents and intersecting developments in French art, from the Barbizon school through the post-Impressionist period. In addition, it studies the landscape in a variety of media–painting, prints, and photography–exploring both the individual artists’ perceptions and the ways in which they influenced each other. With over 80 paintings and 70 works on paper from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s collections, and published to accompany a major exhibition, Impressions of Light encompasses more than 100 years and 56 artists working in a dozen different media. It holds the broadest possible view, yet never loses sight of the extraordinary intricacy that makes the landscape so enduringly appealing.
Customer Review: Come Visit Beautiful French Landscapes
The book Impressions of Light by George Shackleford et al is a companion book to an art exhibit of works from Boston’s Museum of Fine Art. The paintings are landscapes created by France’s greatest nineteenth century painters and photographers. Most of the painters are Impressionists but others schools are represented as well. The book also contains sketches which were part of the exhibit. The sketches, as well as the written commentary which accompanies many of them, allows the reader to better understand the creative process of the painters. The factual information in the book is very extensive and helps the readers see more in the works than normally meets the eye. Perhaps what is most interesting about this book and the collection of paintings and photographs included it is the plethora of lesser known works by these great artists. Readers, especially those who have been fortunate to view the exhibit, will be transported to the settings of these great works and gain a deeper appreciation of these great artists and photographers.
