Uitgave van 2005 in het Nederlands. Gekocht voor zoiets van 20ct in de kilomarkt. Drie sterren omdat de reproducties zo klein zijn. En ook omdat er wel een poging wordt gedaan om iets over de kustopvatting van Cézanne te zeggen (als ik het goed begrijp: een beeld van de werkelijkheid schetsen zoals ik het me herinner, in plaats van de werkelijkheid te tonen volgens wetten en voorschriften (perspectivische wetten maar ook genreconventies)) maar dat gebeurt zo beknopt en wordt zo weinig uitgewerkt dat ik verlang naar meer (je reste sur ma faim).
Un buen libro introductorio para entender un poco el arte de Cézanne. La verdad no es de mis artistas favoritos, pero luego de esta lectura pude apreciar mejor sus obras, viendo sus motivaciones e inquietudes.
