Praise for Alex Danchev's Cezanne: Danchev's Cezanne has... virtues of imaginative sympathy, independence of mind, and wide scholarship. He writes as if Cezanne's life and character are as immediately present before him as is the art. -- Julian Barnes * Times Literary Supplement * A brave new life of Cezanne ... much of this new material successfully illuminates Cezanne's inner life. An important book. * Sunday Times * This is the best account of [Cezanne's] astonishing career and Danchev responds to the challenge with great sensitivity and genuine brio. This is a book which will survive the test of time. -- John Golding CBE, Emeritus Professor of the Royal Academy The most engrossing biography of an artist that I have read for years. With lightness of touch, depth of thought, a vast cultural hinterland and an assured understanding of painting, Danchev marvellously brings to life Cezanne the man, as well as the pioneering artist called the father of us all by Picasso. -- Jackie Wullschlager * FT *
