"Cézanne: Thinking with a Paintbrush" Author: [France] Francoise Bayle Publisher: Beijing United Publishing Company

Painting means thinking with a brush.

——Cezanne

This book contains more than 60 representative works of the famous Impressionist and Cubist painter Cézanne. Cézanne is known as the "Father of Modern Art". He regarded everything in nature as a cone, cylinder and sphere structure, and applied this concept to paintings of landscapes, portraits and still lifes, such as the "Mont Sainte-Victoire" series, "The Card Players" and "Apples and Cookies". The emergence of Cézanne foreshadowed the beginning of important art trends in the 20th century, such as Cubism, Fauvism, and Abstractionism, and deeply influenced painters such as Matisse and Picasso.

Françoise Bayle graduated in Classical Literature and Art History. She regularly writes guidebooks for major French museums such as the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay. She has published many works, including Masterpieces of the Louvre Museum (2003).
