Cezanne and the Apple Boy by Laurence Anholt

Cezanne and the Apple Boy by Laurence Anholt

This brand-new title in Laurence Anholt�s beautifully illustrated children�s series of stories about famous artists recounts a wonderful adventure experienced by Paul, a little boy who is named after his father, Paul C�zanne. The elder C�zanne had been away from home for so long that the boy has difficulty recognizing his father when he joins him on a painting expedition in the mountains of southern France. They quickly become fast friends, and the artist takes great pleasure in painting a portrait of his apple-cheeked son. Most of his paintings, however, are landscapes of the mountain country where they are camping, although the people who live nearby often laugh at the artist�s pictures, which they think are poor. But young Paul admires his father�s work�and he is not alone. A picture dealer from Paris happens to be in the region, and when he sees C�zanne�s paintings, he thinks they are wonderful. Before long, C�zanne becomes famous and wealthy. The story, enhanced with Laurence Anholt�s illustrations on every page, include several that are reproductions of C�zanne�s famous paintings.
