Binding: Hardcover
Description: In the latter half of the 19th century in the verdant countryside near Aix - en - Provence Paul C zanne (1839 1906) busily plied his brush to landscapes and still lifes that would become anchors of modern art. With compact intense dabs of paint and bold new approaches to light and space he mediated the way from Impressionism to the defining movements of the early 20th century and became in the words of both Matisse and Picasso father of us all. This fresh artist introduction selects key works from C zanne's oeuvre to understand his development innovation and crucial influence on modern art. From compositions of fruits and pears to scenes of outdoor bathers we trace his experimentation with color perspective and texture to evoke a harmony parallel to Nature as well as the very process of seeing and recording. Along the way we discover C zanne's celebrated Card Players his layering of warm and cool hues to build up form and surface and the geometric rigor of his landscapes from the vicinity of Aix - en - Provence as bright with the light of southern France as they are bold with a radical new rendering of dimensions and depth.
