Reviews

[Janelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well written about a great artist. The illustrations are beautiful. Regrettably, Paul Cezanne may have been a great artist but he was not a great man in anyway. Selfish with behavior issues plus a coward.

I like these books that focus on a different artist by this author. I think the illustrations are great, and they teach a lot of information about these artists.

"elas kord üks mees. ta sündis, kosis ja suri. enam ma temast ei tea, aga ta oli üks mees" või kuidas see nüüd oligi. vot täpselt selline raamat on välja kukkunud. ei teadnud ma Cezanne'ist enne suurt midagi ega tea nüüdki. võibolla see pole raamatu viga, vaid oligi selline mees, ja pildid on siin ju ilusad (ja kuigi raamatu enda pildikeel ei aita eriti aru saada, millist kunsti Cezanne tegi, siis õnneks lõpus on kenasti mõned näited rivis).

fakt, mille laste teadusraamatust sain: Cezanne ja Emile Zola olid lapsepõlvesõbrad.

mida ma teada ei saanud: miks ei meeldinud Cezanne'i kunst alguses mitte kellelegi ja hästi pikalt meeldis ainult ühele inimesele... ja siis lõpuks järsku meeldis kõigile. ega ka seda, et milline inimene ta õieti oli.
