His painting was a touchstone for Samuel Beckett as much as Henri Matisse. Rilke revered him deeply, as did Picasso. If we lost touch with his sense of life, they thought, we lost an essential element in our self-understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf These Apples Should Fall: Cézanne and the Present\u003c\/em\u003e looks back on Cézanne from a moment—our own—when such judgments may seem to need justifying. What was it, the book asks, that held Cézanne's viewers spellbound?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of Cézanne lies a sense of disquiet: a homelessness haunting the vividness, an anxiety underlying the appeal of colour. T. J. Clark addresses this strangeness head-on, examining the art of Pissarro, Matisse and others in relation to it. Above all, he speaks to the uncanniness and beauty of Cézanne's achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383866376428,"sku":"9780500025284","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/73703482366.jpg?v=1773384572","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/if-these-apples-should-fall-by-t-j-clark-9780500025284","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
