Description: London: Giles, 2014. 28cm., hardcover, 240pp., 136 color illus. Exhibition held at Barnes Foundation. Summary: There is a real lack of published material on Paul Cezanne's still lifes; this groundbreaking new volume offers a complete, thematic reappraisal of Cézanne's still life paintings, looking at them both within the broader context of his complex artistic and psychological development and within the wider history of the development of still life in France and early twentieth-century modernism. Cézanne set still life painting on a new course, one that completely altered its traditionally low position within the hierarchy of French academic painting. For Cézanne, still life became the means by which he processed his perception of things, in which he viewed shapes and objects as units that might "interpenetrate one another." Presenting twenty-two key still lifes by Cézanne, this is a major contribution to our understanding of Cézanne's life and work. Contributors to the volume include professor Richard Shiff, Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art at the University of Texas at Austin, Benedict Leca, director of curatorial affairs at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the book's editor and exhibit's curator; Denis Coutagne, president of Société Paul Cézanne; Nina Kallmyer, professor and chair, Department of Art History, University of Delaware; and Paul Smith, professor in History of Art at the University of Warwick. There is also a foreword by Philippe Cézanne, great-grandson of the artist.
