This major work establishes portraiture as an essential practice for C zanne, from his earliest self-portraits in the 1860s; to his famous depictions of figures including his wife Hortense Fiquet, the writer Emile Zola, and the art dealer Ambroise Vollard; and concluding with a poignant series of portraits of his gardener Vallier, made shortly before C zanne's death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeatured essays by leading experts explore the special pictorial and thematic characteristics of C zanne's portraits. The authors address the artist's creation of complementary pairs and multiple versions of the same subject, as well as the role of self-portraiture for C zanne. They investigate the chronological evolution of his portrait work, with an examination of the changes that occurred within his artistic style and method, and in his understanding of resemblance and identity. They also consider the extent to which particular sitters influenced the characteristics and development of C zanne's practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated with works of art drawn from public and private collections around the world, \u003ci\u003eC zanne Portraits\u003c\/i\u003e presents an astonishingly broad range of images that reveal the most personal and human qualities of this remarkable artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the National Portrait Gallery, London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Elderfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691177864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691177861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 10.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018 pg. 100","brand":"John Elderfield","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044035064063,"sku":"9780691177861","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68f0d5ab-a5e5-48af-8a86-f4608c4bb75e.jpg?v=1684970549","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/czanne-portraits-john-elderfield-9780691177861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
