Book Synopsis
In the voluminous scholarship that's been written on Paul Cezanne, little has been said about the 24 portraits in oil that Cezanne made of his wife, Hortense Fiquet Cezanne, over an extended twenty-year period. This title focuses on these paintings as a group and looks at the differences that render many of them unrecognizable as the same person.
