Books with title Paul Cezanne

Celebrated as the father of modern art, Paul Czanne found inspiration in the natural world, but rather than copying beautiful landscapes, he sought to show how people experience nature. In addition to scenes of his native Provence, Czanne painted memorable still lifes, portraits, and watercolors, experimenting with new techniques in painting that are still in use today. This stunning resource contains many of his greatest works and analyzes his patchwork style and its impact on later artists, including Matisse and Picasso.

Its strange to think that when Paul Czanne began his work as an artist, people laughed at him! In 1874, Czannes work appeared in the very first exhibition of Impressionist art. Today, hes viewed as one of the artists to shape modern art as it is today. Readers discover this incredible artist through his biography and full-color examples of his paintings, including The Card Players. Tiny details are revealed through palette samples and close-up images of small parts of his work, like the signature at the bottom of The House of the Hanged Man.
