Description
A concise, accessible introduction to Paul C zanne's portraiture
This beautifully illustrated book features twenty-four masterpieces in portraiture by celebrated French artist Paul C zanne (1839-1906), offering an excellent introduction to this important aspect of his work. Arranged chronologically and spanning five decades, featured portraits range from the artist's earliest surviving self-portrait dating from the 1860s to paintings depicting family and friends, including his uncle Dominique, his wife Hortense, his son Paul, and his final portrait of Vallier, the gardener at his house near Aix-en-Provence, completed shortly before C zanne's death. Art historian Mary Tompkins Lewis contributes an illuminating essay on C zanne and his portraiture for general readers, alongside an illustrated chronology of the artist's life and work.
