Brothers at Rest (1875-76) by Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) shows four young men, two naked, two getting dressed on a summer's day, relaxing after they have been bathing, painted in summery colours of green and blue sky with puffy clouds and a country scene. There are recognisable French villages, still life, the Nudes in Landscape, Boy in Red Vest, Leda and the Swan with the titian-haired nude, Woman with Green Hat, the gorgeous amber and green hues of Bibemus Quarry of 1898 and dozens more favourites in this book of 30 postcards offering a rich sampling of his paintings. Cezanne is closely associated with the Impressionists, yet his paintings remain highly distinctive for their unique colouring, quality of light, and striking placement and treatment of subject matter. These outstanding examples of his genius come from the collection of The Barnes Foundation. Quality heavy glossy white paper, superb full page colour in softback with 30 detachable oversized postcards.
