A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Paul Cezanne was one of the greatest of the French impressionist painters. This delightful book follows his son, also called Paul, as he travels to the mountains to spend a summer with his father. He discovers that his father, a very large man, paints the natural world with a passion that few can understand. But one day they meet an art dealer in a village who offers to try to sell some of the paintiings in Paris ... the rest is history. The reader gains a real insight into Cezanne the man through the eyes of a child - sometimes frightening, fastidious (he won't touch other people), warm-hearted, driven by a passion for his art. And it provides a vivid introduction to Cezanne's work, with reproductions of his most famous paintings incorporated in the illustrations. Previous titles in series: Camille and the Sunflowers (Van Gogh), Degas and the Little Dancer, Leonardo and the Flying Boy (da Vinci), Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail, The Magical Garden of Claude Monet and Matisse, King of Colour.
