Publisher's Notes

Vincent van Gogh, who never felt loved, died a gruesome death at age 37, after a life of misery and loneliness. How did this son of a clergyman, with his own dreams of becoming a minister, emerge as one of the world's great painters and an art-world celebrity? Did you know that: -- he sold only one painting during his life? -- he painted everything in ten short years? -- he trained as a preacher, not as an artist? -- he painted self-portraits because he often couldn't afford models? -- he painted his most beautiful sunflowers and irises during the most anguished time of his life?

Cezanne
by Pavel MacHotka

This beautiful book presents a new perspective on Paul Cézanne, one of the towering figures of nineteenth-century art. Pavel Machotka has photographed the sites of Cézanne's landscape paintings--whenever possible from the same spot and at the same time of day that Cézanne painted the scenes. Juxtaposing these color photographs with reproductions of the paintings, he offers a dazzling range of evidence to investigate how the great painter transformed nature into works of art. Machotka, himself an artist, moves from painting to painting, examining textures and surfaces, pictorial rhythms, and inflections of tone. As he analyzes Cézanne's treatment of individual sites, their transposition into forms and colors, and the artist's responsiveness to the demands of each unique composition, we begin to see Cézanne as he saw himself: not as an early Cubist but as a painter who explored his motif for its rich compositional potential and presented a parallel and faithful conception of it. Using color to define form, while retaining hues that are anchored in reality, Cézanne achieved sensuous reconstructions rather than intellectual depictions like those of the Cubists.
