Cezanne: Visions of a Great Painter (The Impressionists)

Often called the Father of Modern Painting, Paul Cezanne supported the freedom of his Impressionist contemporaries but distanced himself from any artistic school. He developed instead a singular and sumptuous painterly style that recalled masters from the past and presaged art movements to come. While Cezanne considered figure painting important - his portraits and late "Bathers" series are well known - he is best remembered for his luminous still lifes and hanutingly beautiful landscapes. This tribute showcases the timeless and transcendent beauty of his art with 140 full-color reproductions.
