Title: Cezanne and the dawn of modern art
Description: "Cezanne and the Dawn of Modern Art presents selected paintings by Paul Cezanne alongside works by younger artists that reveal the powerful influence of the founder of modern painting. The driving forces in the reception of Cezanne's art were not art critics or art historians, but rather other artists: primarily the Fauves - led by Matisse, de Vlaminck, and Derain - and the Cubists - including Picasso, Braque, and Leger - all of whom absorbed and elaborated on Cezanne's revolutionary ideas about color and composition." "Against this background of Cezannisme, the book presents key works by Cezanne and younger artists in revealing juxtapositions. Readers will discover analogies and variations between the works of the "father of modern art" and those of his successors in series of related motifs - portraits, still lifes, and landscapes - a compact history of the icons of modern art."--BOOK JACKET.
