Few artists painted as many self-portraits as Paul C?zanne. Art dealer Platzman uses these self-portraits to explore the artist's psychological profile, personal and artistic development, and relationships with other artists and with women. Thirty-six paintings and 24 drawings are reproduced in this volume, providing the most comprehensive publication of the artist's self-portraits to date. Platzman's style is expansive and speculative, bringing a wide array of historical, cultural, and psychological material into his discussions. The result is a somewhat idiosyncratic work that is most suitable for research and specialized art collections. Kathryn Wekselman, MLn., Cincinnati

"The first art book devoted to Cezanne's self-portraits is a lavishly illustrated coffee-table volume."
