The persona that Cezanne created for himself in his first decade as a painter contributed to critical dismissal of his early work as the chaotic and emotional outpouring of an unbridled imagination. Subsequent scholarship, both formalist and psychoanalytical in orientation, has tended to sustain this view of the unique and powerful body of work created before Cezanne's introduction to Impressionism in 1872. Mary Tompkins Lewis here assesses Cezanne's first works as a whole, with particular emphasis on the subject paintings, and demonstrates their stylistic and iconographic coherence.Lewis, Martin W. is the author of 'Wagering the Land', published 1991 under ISBN 9780520072725 and ISBN 0520072723.
