A Delightful Introduction

This book is a fine introduction to this great artist. The reproductions of the paintings are superb. One thing I really like is that although the author supplies many useful (and jargon free) comments and observations about the Cezanne's life and work, the author also lets the artist speak for himself through choice selections of his writings. I understand what Cezanne was doing better now. It makes a good gift book too as it is very accessible and not very long.

What a great series!! What a great book!!

This is the second book I have from the Pegasus Library and I am impressed yet again with the high quality of this book. I love art books, but finding books with high quality images and interesting text is sometimes difficult given my limited price range. This book on Cezanne comes with a commentary which I found better written and more informative than many of the essays found in the huge tomes which seem to dominate the art book world. But every art lover knows the commentary is but a distant concern compared with the quality of the images themselves. The reproductions in this book are bright and clear, crisp enough to see the details, but not unfaithful to the originals. I could go on and on, but I will stop...in short, buy this book!
