- Paul Cézanne's (1839-1906) distinctive paintings of landscapes, figures, nudes and still lifes profoundly influenced the Cubists and 20th-century art
- The first study to bring biographical, formal and larger contextual approaches to bear on his whole career
- Author argues that his legacy can be fully understood only in the context of the social and historical circumstances of France in conjunction with the regional tensions of his native Provence
'The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods...I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools.' (Joachim Pissarro, Yale University)
