Rewarding reading

At present I am working my way through the Cezanne Portraits catalogue.  In many ways I don't see them as portraits, rather as still life pieces of people - especially the paintings of Cezanne's wife and the locals to his Aix studio home.  It's a fascinating read.

  1. I hope to manage to go and see the exhibition before we go to Greece in January, Olga, but if we don't manage it, I will follow your example and get the book. I love the image you have posted.

    1. I hope you manage to get to the exhibition, Eirene, as Cezannes are always a joy to see. I did not see the show myself - I am generally cutting down the number of exhibitions I attend; but I very much enjoyed the catalogue, which is a splendid production - physically very heavy because of the weight of the quality paper!
