Cézanne and America: Dealers, Collectors, Artists, and Critics, 1891-1921

By John Rewald

The classic work by internationally acclaimed C zanne scholar John Rewald

In C zanne and America, John Rewald presents a full account of how Paul C zanne'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 C zanne'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 C zanne'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is illustrated not only with C zanne's works but also with portraits of collectors and critics and with previously unpublished pages from diaries, dealers' ledgers, and C zanne's own correspondence.
