What about the work itself? Well, still life work tends to leave me a bit cold and I'm not overly excited by hundreds of still lives of apples and pears...no matter how the pigment has been daubed on ...with a "furious impasto of vermilion, yellow, green and blue" p73. I guess it is possible to see in Cezanne's work the doorway being opened to the impressionists and, I guess that is no mean achievement and he seemed to remain true to his own views of art. It's not that he couldn't draw realistically...his drawing of a male nude at the Aix Art school in 1862 demonstrates his abilities in this respect. I found it interesting that his friend since childhood ..Zola ...considered him to be an "aborted genius" never realising his potential ....and his father found it hard to come to grips with his son who constantly needed financial support. I wonder, whether he became financially secure before his death through his paintings? He certainly inherited wealth through his father but was his work being purchased in his own time sufficiently to support him? We are not told but from about 1895 to his death in 1906 he seems to have been increasingly appreciated by other artists ....at least by the artists. Quite a nice book. I give it 4 stars. ( )
