a interesting biography of the painter that changed the art world. Cezanne was the seed of 20th century art. a powerful artist and personality.

A very text dense book filled with facts. This made for slow reading. More a reference than a story. However it is most complete work on Cezanne I have read.

Not bad really, but also, not exactly what I was seeking or hoping for in wanting to read about Cezanne. Cautiously recommended for admirers, fans, collectors, etc.
