Description

A picture book biography of the artist Paul Cézanne, the painter who laid the groundwork for modern art and whom Pablo Picasso declared "the father of us all." All Cézanne wants is to be a great painter like his friends Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir. But when he shows his works, the professors, the critics, and the collectors all dismiss him: "Too flat!" "Too much paint!" "These are rough and unfinished!" Even his own pet parrot, Bisou, can't be brought to say, "Cézanne is a great painter!" And who can blame them? Cézanne doesn't care about tradition, and he doesn't follow the rules. He's painting in a way no one else has done before, creating something completely new--and he's destined to change the world of art forever.
