I've had this book since mid 1970s. The whole series of these Thames and Hudson World of Art Library of art books are wonderful. The titles I have are like old friends now.
A truly fascinating story, the life of Cezanne. This book is for the art lover, the student, the mere curious one and the reader interested in great figures of modern history.
Sit back and allow the writer to paint the picture of an artist that was not content with the, at that time, new way of painting (Impressionism) and strove to make his own style, in spite of all the ridicule and scorn received from the art world and commoners alike.
