ONCE UPON A TIME there was a village dog from Provence.
From the rear cover
In 1886 Paul C�zanne left Paris permanently to settle in his native Aix-en-Provence. Nina M. Athanassoglou-Kallmyer argues that, far from an escapist venture like Gauguin's stay in Brittany or Monet's visits to Normandy, C�zanne's departure from Paris was a deliberate abandonment intimately connected with late-nineteenth-century French regionalist politics. Like many of his childhood friends, C�zanne detested the homogenizing effects of modernism and bourgeois capitalism on the culture, people, and landscapes of his beloved Provence. Turning away from the mainstream modernist aesthetic of his impressionist years, C�zanne sought instead to develop a new artistic tradition more evocative of his Proven�al heritage. Athanassoglou-Kallmyer shows that Provence served as a distinct and defining cultural force that shaped all aspects of C�zanne's approach to representation, including subject matter, style, and technical treatment. For instance, his self-portraits and portraits of family members reflect a specifically Proven�al sense of identity. And C�zanne's Proven�al landscapes express an increasingly traditionalist style firmly grounded in details of local history and even geology. These landscapes, together with images of bathers, cardplayers, and other figures, were key facets of C�zanne's imaginary reconstruction of Provence as primordial and idyllic--a modern French Arcadia. Highly original and lavishly illustrated, C�zanne and Provence gives us an entirely new C�zanne: no longer the quintessential icon of generic, depersonalized modernism, but instead a self-consciously provincial innovator of mainstream styles deeply influenced by Proven�al culture, places, and politics.
