One of the most influential painters of his time and beyond, C zanne was the exemplary artist-creator of the modern age who changed the way we see the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith brisk intellect, rich documentation, and eighty-eight color and fifty-two black-and-white illustrations, Danchev tells the story of an artist who was originally considered a madman, a barbarian, and a sociopath. Beginning with the unsettled teenager in Aix, Danchev takes us through the trials of a painter who believed that art must be an expression of temperament but was tormented by self-doubt, who was rejected by the Salon for forty years, who sold nothing outside his immediate circle until his thirties, who had a family that he kept secret from his father until his forties, who had his first exhibition at the age of fifty-six--but who fiercely maintained his revolutionary beliefs. Danchev shows us how the beliefs C zanne held and the life he led became the obsession and inspiration of artists, writers, poets, and philosophers from Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to Samuel Beckett and Allen Ginsberg. A special feature of the book is a remarkable series of C zanne's self-portraits, reproduced in full color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eC zanne\u003c\/i\u003e is not only the fascinating life of a visionary artist and extraordinary human being but also a searching assessment of his ongoing influence in the artistic imagination of our time. A stunning portrait of a monumentally important artist, this is a biography not to be missed.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53506700509457,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780307377074.jpg?v=1778116764","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-cezanne-by-alex-danchev","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
