Still Life - Curtain and Pitcher by Paul Cezanne - 26×30″
Cezanne (Rizzoli Art Classics) 
Customer Review: look first, read maybe
For the price this is an excellent book, full of rich illustrations, colorful, detailed. The introduction is gibberish. The biographical section is mid-level reportage. The individual descriptions of paintings are fairly informative. Buy this book for the reproductions, the details, the colorful full-page spreads. All in a slender volume. This is a book that allows you to see the texture of the canvas. Read the text to catch your breath.
Cezanne and the Provencal Table 
Paul Cezanne, perhaps more than any Impressionist, felt an attachment to his birthplace that would endure throughout his lifetime. From the farmhouse where he was raised at Jas de Bouffan to his final home at Lauves, his native region of Provence would provide both the creative and physical sustenance necessary to fuel his unique artistic vision. In a letter, Cezanne once wrote of Provence, “When you are born there, you’re done for. Nothing else is appealing.”
And so he spent most of his life there, taking long walks in the country, hunting, camping, and, of course, painting all that this beautiful area of France has to offer: the strange Chateau-Noir, the undisturbed silence of the Bibemus quarry, and the majestic Mont Sainte-Victoire, which would become a recurring theme in Cezanne’s paintings. When not out wandering the Provencal countryside, Cezanne often brought nature inside in the form of apples, pears, peaches, oranges, and other fruit that he painted as still fifes.
As beloved as Provence was to Cezanne, so too were his favorite Provencal dishes. Although he once claimed that his favorite meal was “potatoes in oil,” he enjoyed a variety of foods prepared by his mother and later by his cook, Madame Bremond. Fifty of these special recipes are included in this book, attesting to the simple and bounteous Provencal cuisine that Cezanne held so dear.
Authors Jacqueline Saulnier and Gilles Plazy fondly revive Cezanne’s Provence by concentrating on the painter’s life and career at his four main Provencal addresses. Special attention is given to the cuisine that is brought temptingly to life by internationally renowned photographer Jean-Bernard Naudin’s full-color photographs. Images of Provence, Cezanne’s paintings, and recreations of his still lifes add to the extraordinary beauty of a book to be treasured for its portrait of the artist, his home, and his way of life.

Natura morta con tenda, Art Poster by Paul Cezanne 
Paul C?zanne, the greatest Post-Impressionist master, was born in Aix-en Provence. While studying at the Acad?mie Suisse, C?zanne met Pissaro who was to influence him greatly. After working for a year in his father’s bank, he returned to Paris (1862-64). Between 1864 and 1890 C?zanne lived in Paris, until diabetes forced him to retire permanently to Aix. His paintings until 1868 were romantic or baroque in style. During the period 1868-72 Manet’s influence may be noted in added clarity and solidity of form. During his Impressionist period (1872-79) his palette lightened and, following Pissarro’s example, he approached nature with greater simplicity. Throughout the years that he exhibited with the Impressionists C?zanne held the unhappy distinction of being the most derided member of the group. But in 1880 he began to develop his own theory of painting and his own style. It is a style characterized by unemotional, non-narrative, closed compositions that are based on the reduction of every object in nature to the cone, the cylinder, or the cube - which he believed were beneath all accidental external variations. All modern art can be said to stem, either directly or indirectly, from C?zanne: Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and Abstract Expressionism. He immediately affected the work of Gauguin, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Braque who, in turn, have influenced countless others. He continued to paint until six days before he died of pneumonia on October 22, 1906.
