(Author This art book contains only reproductions of Cezanne's landscape work. For his portrait, nudes and still lifes, see our other Cezanne Kindle books.) The bearded Provençal leans disconcertingly into his subject, the mighty Mont Sainte-Victoire in the distance. He has painted this mountain many times before, but his tenacious concentration is not dimmed as his bloodshot eyes bulge out of his head, reaching toward nature. Then, adding an overlapping layer of tone and form, he daubs another patch of color, building carefully towards realization. Even more than most artists, Paul Cézanne’s life was his work. As his friend and fellow-painter Émile Bernard once said, “his method of study was a meditation with a brush in his hands.” His times were tumultuous; while Cézanne was still in school, the restored monarchy was dislodged in favor of the Second Republic (1848), which was soon thrust aside as its leader crowned himself the new emperor (1852). And when Cézanne was in his early thirties, struggling to establish himself in the Parisian art scene, the Franco-Prussian War led to the Siege of Paris and the crumbling of the Second Empire as internecine violence gripped the streets. Then the Third Republic and a France that increasingly swept aside old ways in a surge of industrial and urban development. Yet, you must search hard to find signs of these events in Cézanne’s work (cont).

“The Landscape becomes reflective, human and thinks itself though me. I make it an object, let it project itself and endure within my painting....I become the subjective consciousness of the landscape, and my painting becomes its objective consciousness.”

Amongst favourites, seen at the National Gallery.

Beautiful

I love the landscapes. It was interesting to see some watercolor too. Some of the colors seemed off. Too dark. I have the kindle version

As Cèzanne is a favourite artist, this is great book filled with landscapes
you could picnic in, croissant, cheese and a decent rosé on my sunny porch will suffice.
Thank you Denise Ankele :-)

Cezanne Landscape Paintings

I love Cezanne so for the small amount of money I could not resist. The book was much more enriching to me than I even imagined. If you like Cezanne or just art period, treat yourself to this selection. It is absolutely magic.

Loved it. Not much to read. Mainly pictures of his landscapes, many, of which, I have never seen. Enjoyed it.
