Reviews for Cézanne Portraits

The first book to take on C�zanne's portraits as a whole, this very impressive and important volume will be of interest to specialists and nonspecialists alike. It is superbly written and makes a significant contribution to C�zanne scholarship. --Matthew Simms, author of C�zanne's Watercolors To accompany the groundbreaking exhibition of portraits by the Post-Impressionist Paul C�zanne . . . comes this scholarly, handsome volume. Organized by date and subject matter, it contains images of some of his most important work, in a field that's been largely overlooked, considering his influence on later artists. A chapter with photographs of C�zanne and some of the people most important in his life is a nice touch.---Sarah Bryan Miller, St. Louis Post Dispatch It is in general a special moment to be looking at C�zanne's portraits, because after a century and more it becomes clear that the famous 'inexpressiveness' of his sitters has to do (not wholly, but indubitably) with their situation in a class society. . . . C�zanne Portraits is a great occasion. Not for the first time we owe a debt to John Elderfield. . . . The book that accompanies the exhibition is full of matter.---T.J. Clark, London Review of Books
