Conversations with Cézanne

Edición de la obra Conversations avec Cézanne

"Michael Doran has gathered texts by contemporaries of Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) - including artists, critics, and writers - which illuminate that influential painter's philosophy of art, especially in his late years. The book includes historically important texts by a dozen different authors, including Emile Bernard, Joaquim Gasquet, Maurice Denis, and Ambroise Vollard, along with pithy selections from Cezanne's own letters. In addition to the material included in the original French edition of this book, which has also been published in German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese, this edition opens with an introduction written especially for it by Richard Shiff, and closes with Lawrence Gowing's magisterial essay, "Cezanne: The Logic of Organized Sensations," first published in 1977 and long out of print in English.". "Cezanne's work, and the thinking that lay behind it, has been of inestimable importance to the artists who followed him. This gathering of writings will be of great interest to artists, writers, art historians - indeed to all students of modern art."--BOOK JACKET.
