Cezanne: 185+ Landscape Paintings - Post-Impressionism - Paul Cezanne - Annotated Series Kindle Edition

Cezanne was prolific, but landscapes are my favorites of his repertoire. This book has little prose but the pictures pack a punch!Recommended.

A very good series of reproductions covering a large selection of Cézannes paintings, reproduced in good colour.There is a list of the titles and dates of all the actual reproductions, at the beginning of the book, followed by pages of thumbnails, one for each included print.However, each title does not give a page number for the reproduction it refers to; in fact there are no page numbers in the entire book. When each title, or thumbnail, is clicked on, one is taken directly to the respective reproduction. This is a very nice feature when you know the title of the reproduction that you wish to view. However, it is more cumbersome when searching through the 185+ very small thumbnails, for a reproduction that you want to view, but whose title is unknown or has been forgotten.The greatest problem is when browsing the reproductions inside the book, as each reproduction 'stands by itself', without title, date or any other manner of identifying any particular reproduction. So that you are lost if you need to know the title of a particular work. It is far too problematical to have to count through up to 185+ thumbnails, and then to repeat the count through the same number of titles in alphabetically consecutive order, in order to discover the title of the thumbnail that is being viewed: assuming you have managed to identify that correct thumbnail from the reproduction that you were originally viewing in the first place, and now wish to identify.This is all a little convoluted and would have been perfect, and therefore deserving of 5 stars, if primarily, the title and date of each work was printed below each reproduction. Any additional information, such as size, medium, location of original artwork, would also not be amiss, though not strictly necessary as that can always be hunted down on the net, once armed with the title and date.Otherwise a very good series of art books from the Ankele's, and very reasonably priced, but the above criticism is applicable to the 18 different books of their's that I have bought; apart from the title 'Johannes Vermeer', which has the title and date below each painting, and is also preceded by a page with other relevant information regarding that work. It would be perfect if every one of their books were laid out in this same manner, for ease of viewing. Perhaps it is due to the fact that there are only 40 reproductions in that book?

I love Cezanne so for the small amount of money I could not resist. The book was much more enriching to me than I even imagined. If you like Cezanne or just art period, treat yourself to this selection. It is absolutely magic.

I love the landscapes. It was interesting to see some watercolor too. Some of the colors seemed off. Too dark. I have the kindle version
