Cézanne
A lively account of the highly influential artist's life and work.

The first study to bring biographical, formal and larger contextual approaches to bear on his whole career
Author argues that his legacy can be fully understood only in the context of the social and historical circumstances of France in conjunction with the regional tensions of his native Provence
