CEzanne and America: Dealers, Collectors, Artists, and Critics, 1891-1921 (The A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts, 28)

The classic work by internationally acclaimed CEzanne scholar John Rewald In CEzanne and America, John Rewald presents a full account of how Paul CEzanne’s reputation and influence became established in America between 1891 and 1921, and of how some of the world’s largest collections of his works were formed in the United States. This is the fascinating story of enthusiastic young American artists who took up CEzanne’s cause after they discovered him in Paris. It is also the story of the discerning early American collectors of his work—Leo and Gertrude Stein, the Havemeyers, and John Quinn, among others—many of whom made their first purchases from CEzanne’s wily dealer Ambroise Vollard in Paris, or from the dealer Alfred Stieglitz in New York, and of the beginning of the famous collection of Dr. Albert C. Barnes. Each chapter is illustrated not only with CEzanne’s works but also with portraits of collectors and critics and with previously unpublished pages from diaries, dealers’ ledgers, and CEzanne’s own correspondence.
