Conversations with Cezanne - (Documents of Twentieth-Century Art) by Michael Doran (Paperback)

This book is a treasure trove of insights into the mind of Paul Cézanne, one of the most influential painters of modern art.

It gathers together texts by contemporaries of the artist, including artists, critics, and writers, that shed light on his philosophy of art, particularly in his later years.

The book includes historically important essays by a dozen different authors, as well as selections from Cézanne's own letters.

This edition contains an introduction written especially for it by noted Cézanne scholar Richard Shiff, and closes with Lawrence Gowing's magisterial essay, "The Logic of Organized Sensations." Whether you are an artist, writer, art historian, or simply a lover of modern art, this book is an essential resource for understanding the thinking that lay behind Cézanne's work and its enduring influence on the art world.
