Summary

"Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) was one of the most influential and well-loved artists of all time. He was a key figure in the great debate about Modernism that took place in Britain in the early years of the twentieth century, and a stylistic innovator who constantly struggled to perfect his art. Yet, during his lifetime, Cezanne remained virtually unknown in this country, and as recently as 1964 the National Gallery's purchase of the most important Cezanne in Britain - Bathers - was denounced in the press as a public outrage." "Today, more than 80 of Cezanne's works remain in British collections, public and private, and over half of these pictures, covering the full range of his oeuvre - paintings, drawings, watercolours and prints - are reproduced here, tracing the artist's development from the 1860s until his death."--Jacket.
