Remarkable for its bold use of color and form, Paul Cezanne's work has had a profound influence on modern art. Find out how this 19th-century French master created a new approach to painting through his perception of space and tone. The DK ArtBook series presents both the life and works of each artist within the cultural, social, and political context of their time. To make the books easy to consult, they are divided into three areas -- the life and works of the artist, historical and cultural background, and analysis of major works -- which are identifiable by side bands. Each spread focuses on a specific theme, with an introductory text and several annotated illustrations. Few art history texts contain such abundance of full-color illustrations.
