520    Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) is widely regarded as the father 
       of modern art. In this authoritative and accessible study,
       Richard Verdi traces the evolution of Cezanne's landscape,
       still-life and figure compositions, from the turbulently 
       romantic creations of his youth to the visionary 
       masterpieces of his final years. The painter's biography -
       his fluctuating reputation and strained relations with his
       parents, wife and close friend Emile Zola - is vividly 
       evoked using excerpts from his own letters and from 
       contemporary accounts of the artist. Cezanne was torn 
       between the desires to create art and to seek inspiration 
       - to master the themes of the past, through his copying 
       sessions in the Louver, and to explore the eternal 
       qualities of nature in the countryside of his native 
       Provence. In this way the artist sought 'to make of 
       Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of
       the museums'. In this richly illustrated overview Verdi 
       explores the strength, vitality and magnitude of Cezanne's
       achievement.
