Description: A rich vein of the artist's mature work depicting the foundations of landscape and place From the mid - 1860s until shortly before his death Paul C zanne (1839 1906) created 27 canvases that take rock formations as their principal subjects. This is the first publication to focus exclusively on these extraordinary works. It illustrates all of C zanne's mature paintings of rock formations including scenes of the terrain of the forest of Fontainebleau the Mediterranean coastal village of L Estaque and the area around Aix - en - Provence alongside examples of his watercolors of these subjects. An introductory essay by John Elderfield assesses these paintings in terms of their character development and relationship to C zanne's other works; their critical interpretations; and their geological and corporeal associations. Faya Causey's essay examines the Proven al context of C zanne's rock and quarry paintings as well as the status of geology in France during the second half of the 19th century. The catalogue section introduced by Anna Swinbourne chronicles the sites presenting details of where specifically the paintings were made and of the features that they represent together with technical aspects of particular works.
