For Picasso he was “like our father”; for Matisse, “a god of painting.” Paul
Cézanne (1839–1906) is widely regarded as the father of modern art. In
this authoritative and accessible study, Richard Verdi traces the evolution
of Cézanne’s landscape, still-life, and figure compositions from the
turbulently romantic creations of his youth to the visionary masterpieces
of his final years. The painter’s biography—his fluctuating reputation and
strained relations with his parents, wife, and close friend Emile Zola—is
vividly evoked using excerpts from his own letters and from contemporary
accounts of the artist. Cézanne was torn between the desires to both
make and find art—to master the themes of the past, through his copying
sessions in the Louvre, and to explore the eternal qualities of nature in
the countryside of his native Provence. In this way, the artist sought “to
make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of the
museums.” In this richly illustrated overview, now updated throughout and
with a new preface, Verdi explores the strength, vitality, and magnitude of
Cézanne’s achievement.
