His paintings were a touchstone for writers such as Samuel Beckett as much as for artists such as Henri Matisse. Rainer Maria Rilke revered him deeply, as did Pablo Picasso. They thought if they lost touch with his sense of life, they lost an essential element of their own self-understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eIf These Apples Should Fall\u003c\/em\u003e, celebrated art historian T. J. Clark looks back on C騷anne from our current moment when such judgments need justifying. What was it, he asks, that held C騷anne's viewers spellbound?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of C騷anne's work lies a sense of disquiet: a hopelessness haunting the vividness, an anxiety beneath the splendid colors. Clark addresses this strangeness head-on, examining the art of Camille Pissarro, Matisse, and others in relation to C騷anne's. Above all, he speaks to the uncanniness and beauty of C騷anne's achievement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T. J.
