'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Paul Cezanne Author: Mary Louise Krumrine Publisher: Thames and Hudson Date: 1990 Condition: The first English edition, complete with original unclipped printed dust wrapper over olive-coloured cloth boards. Some very light shelf-marking to the wrapper, otherwise very good. Internally, very clean and tidy, apparently little used. Extensively illustrated in black and white and colour throughout.
Originally published in 1989 to accompany an exhibition of the same title at Kunstmuseum, Basel, this major work of scholarship covers the artist's focus on the theme of The Bathers during a period of over thirty years. It brings together nearly 200 works. Krumrine's text explores the artist within his social context, both with friends like Emile Zola and the wider evolution of French society and culture of the time.
