Customer Review: Exquisite
Assembled to accompany a major retrospective of the artist’s work, “Cezanne,” by four art scholars and curators, includes 258 large color plates and 350 black-and-white pictures of paintings, drawings and sketches, organized by chronological period. Each gorgeous plate is accompanied by the work’s provenance and exhibitions. Accompanying text describes the painting’s personal and historical context as well as critical responses at the time and through the years. The book also includes quotes from Cezanne on art and two lengthy, thoughtful essays on “A Century of Cezanne Criticism.” A volume which will afford hours and years of pleasure to anyone interested in Cezanne’s art.
Customer Review: A book worthy of “the father of us all”
Picasso, speaking about modern art and artists, referred to Cezanne as “the father of us all.” He was that rare artist whose vision -and ability to express it- was so keen and unique that it can actually impact the way we se the world around us. (How often I look into the trees and think “that looks like a Cezanne.”) More than any other book of his work this volume succeeds in showing the sweep and depth of Cezanne’s genius. The reproductions are superb and plentiful. The descriptive text accompanying each image, while interesting, needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as is often the case in catalogues of this nature. But the truth is I buy art books for the pictures! For text, try Rewald’s book which is also excellent and contains some paintings not elsewhere printed, and deals extensively with the relationship between Cezanne and Zola. I also recommend Gotz Adriani’s book on Cezanne. But if you can only have one, this is it.

Kitaj: In the Aura of Cezanne and Other Masters
Kitaj’s enigmatic and highly personal paintings engage with contemporary culture, his Jewish identity, and the horror of the Holocaust. His hero is C?zanne: “He is my greatest painter of all and the three last Bathers are my favorite art of all.” Kitaj recently embarked on a series of seven major new paintings inspired by C?zanne’s Bathers for an exhibition at the National Gallery, London. These new works are reproduced here for the first time, together with a series of black chalk drawings, directly inspired by C?zanne. The book includes a short essay about Kitaj’s work, which places the new paintings in the context of his earlier works and reveals his constant preoccupation with the Old Masters. There is also a new and previously unpublished interview with the artist.
