A delightful sketchbook,
By
This review is from: A Cezanne Sketchbook: Figures, Portraits, Landscapes and Still Lifes (Paperback)
"A Cezanne Sketchbook: Figures, Portraits, Landscapes and Still Lifes" is a reproduction of the informal drawings of the artist Paul Cezanne. These are all black-and-white sketches, accompanied by an informative introduction by Carl O. Schniewind. The sketchbook captures Cezanne's monumental human figures, haunting faces, and lyrical landscapes. The really wonderful surprise in the sketchbook is the fact that the artist allowed his young son Paul (b. 1872) to also draw in the sketchbook. Thus we see these charming childish sketches alongside the work of a master artist. When you also consider the many portraits of little Paul by his father in this volume, the "Cezanne Sketchbook" becomes a moving testament to the love that binds a father to his son.

Sweet little sketch book from a master,
By Louise Bahar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Cezanne Sketchbook: Figures, Portraits, Landscapes and Still Lifes (Paperback)
This is a copy of a sketchbook of Cezanne's pencil sketches. It has a good introduction and explanation followed by a listing of the sketches and then finally all the sketches. Interesting to see if you like to draw, and especially to see if you enjoy Cezanne's paintings.

Faint drawings,
By A Jones - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Cezanne Sketchbook: Figures, Portraits, Landscapes and Still Lifes (Paperback)
Reproductions here are faint, and I really did not want to see the additional work of a child. That was a surprise, but maybe I didn't read the product description fully. All these books of drawings by classical or modern masters contain pictures that have been reproduced over and over, thus, line work is weak. I wasn't looking for a sweet or cute book, but really wanted to see (clearly) drawings. Not worth buying.
