Description

Paul Cézanne 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 paintings in Paris... the rest is history. The reader gains a real insight into Cézanne 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 Cézanne's work, with reproductions of his most famous paintings incorporated in the illustrations.
