Paul Cézanne

de Carolyn Lanchner

"Although he was born in the first half of the 1800s, Paul Cézanne is widely considered to be twentieth-century modernism's presiding genius. This book features ten paintings by the artist--whom Pablo Picasso called 'the father of us all'--selected from The Museum of Modern Art's outstanding collection of his work... An essay by Carolyn Lanchner, a former curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum, accompanies each work, illuminating its significance and placing it in its historical moment in the development of modern art."--P.
