About This Item
Berkeley. 2009. October 2009. University Of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780520257450. 18 color illustrations and 65 black-and-white photographs. 320 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Art Cezanne Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In the voluminous scholarship that's been written on Paul CEzanne, little has been said about the twenty-four portraits in oil that CEzanne made of his wife, Hortense Fiquet CEzanne, over an extended twenty-year period. In CEzanne's Other: The Portraits of Hortense, Susan Sidlauskas breaks new ground, focusing on these paintings as a group and looking particularly at the differences that render many of them unrecognizable as the same person. She argues that CEzanne sidestepped the conventional goals of portraiture-he avoids representing a consistent, identifiable physiognomy or conventional feminine postures and does not portray the subject's inner life-making lack of fixedness itself his subject, which leads him ultimately to a radical reformulation of modern portraiture. Sidlauskas also upends the notion of Mme CEzanne as the irrelevant and absent spouse. Instead she reveals Hortense Fiquet CEzanne as a presence so crucial to the artist that she became the essential other' to his ever-evolving self.' Coupling historical texts from philosophy, psychology, and physiology with more recent writings from women's and gender studies, cognitive psychology, and visual culture, Sidlauskas demonstrates that Mme CEzanne offered intimacy at arm's length for the painter who has been dubbed the lone wolf of Aix.' inventory #37492 ISBN: 9780520257450.
