Paul Cézanne: Abrams Library of Great Painters series [B1026]

1965 HCDJ third edition, 13x10-inches, 127-pages; in excellent condition with a mylar-protected dust jacket. Illustrated with fifty full page color 'set in' reproductions of the artist work. From the jacket flap: "Here is the most illuminating guide to the understanding and enjoyment of Cézanne's art ever published. Fifty superb color plates and many monotone illustrations present the work of this master at full length, from his early, rugged canvases to the remarkable late paintings which opened the way for modern art. Professor Meyer Schapiro's brilliant critical and biographical introduction and his individual commentaries on the color plates make this volume a notable addition to THE LIBRARY OF GREAT PAINTERS. To own this book, like its companions in this outstanding series, is like having an exhibition of a great painter's work as a permanent possession in your own home, to enjoy whenever the spirit moves you. Every painting has been photographed especially for this book, and the color proofs were checked again and again in front of the originals-by museum officials and private collectors in America, England, and Europe-until the utmost in fidelity was attained.

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work introduced new modes of representation, influenced avant-garde artistic movements of the early 20th century and formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and early 20th-century Cubism.
