Th is book, like the exhibition it accompanies, looks at the
special pictorial and thematic characteristics of Cézanne’s
portraiture practice, including his creation of complementary pairs
and multiple versions of the same subject . The chronological
development of the artist’s portraiture is also explored , with
an examinat ion of the changes that occurred with respect to his
style and method, on the one hand, and his understanding of
resemblance and identity, on the other . Th e extent to which
particular sitters inflected the characteristics and development of
his practice is also considered . Cézanne Portraits features works
that mutually inform each other to reveal arguably the most
personal , and therefore most human, aspect of his art, and one
that has hitherto received surprisingly little attention. They
range from Cézanne’s earliest surviving self - portraits ,
dating from the 1860s, through to his final portraits of Vallier,
the gardener at his hou se near Aix - en - Provence, made shortly
before the artist’s death in 1906. Exhibition curator John
Elderfield contributes an illuminating introductory essay on
Cézanne’s portraiture, while the artist’s biographer, the late
Alex Danchev, provides an informative dramatis personae on the
sitters featured . The catalogue texts are by John Elderfi eld,
Mary Morton and Xavier Rey , and a chronology by Jayne Warman sets
the artist’s work in the context of his life.
