Paperback. Today we view Cezanne as a monumental figure, but during his lifetime (1839-1906), many did not understand him or his work. This book tells the story of an artist who was never accepted into the official Salon: he was considered a revolutionary at best and a barbarian at worst, whose paintings were unfinished, distorted and strange. Num Pages: 608 pages, 40 pp colour plates. BIC Classification: ACVT; BGF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 152 x 232 x 40. Weight in Grams: 756.
