L'impressionisme De Cézanne

Published in Geneva by the world-renowned art publishing house Éditions Albert Skira as part of its celebrated monographs, Cézanne by Maurice Raynal offers a masterly biographical and critical study of Paul Cézanne, the father of modern art. Written by the influential French art critic and personal friend of many early 20th-century avant-garde painters, this volume explores Cézanne's monumental journey from his early Impressionist affiliations in Paris and Pontoise to his revolutionary structural developments in Aix-en-Provence.


Famed for Skira's uncompromised standards in printmaking, the publication is lavishly illustrated with beautiful, hand-tipped color plates capturing Cézanne's iconic landscapes of Mont Sainte-Victoire, rich still lifes, intimate portraits, and structural bather compositions. Raynal's insightful text analyzes how Cézanne transformed color into volume and form, effectively bridging the gap between Impressionism and Cubism. Bound in publisher's cloth with fine typography, this vintage French art monograph is an essential centerpiece for art historians, Post-Impressionist scholars, fine art edition collectors, and lovers of classic French painting.
