His life was a ceaseless artistic quest, and he channeled much of his wide-ranging intellect and ferocious wit into his letters. Punctuated by exasperated theorizing and philosophical reflection, outbursts of creative ecstasy and melancholic confession, the artist's correspondence reveals both the heroic and all-toohuman qualities of a man who is indisputably among the pantheon of all-time greats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This new translation of C zanne's letters includes more than twenty that were previously unpublished and reproduces the sketches and caricatures with which C zanne occasionally illustrated his words. The letters shed light on some of the key artistic relationships of the modern period--about one third of C zanne's more than 250 letters are to his boyhood companion  mile Zola, and he communicated extensively with Camille Pissarro and the dealer Ambroise Vollard. The translation is richly annotated with explanatory notes, and, for the first time, the letters are cross-referenced to the current catalogue raisonn . Numerous inaccuracies and archaisms in the previous English edition of the letters are corrected, and many intriguing passages that were unaccountably omitted have been restored. The result is a publishing landmark that ably conveys C zanne's intricacy of expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Danchev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606061607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606061602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
