Description

For this second collector’s edition of Cézanne's Objects, Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) has printed an edition of 25 of the photograph Pitcher. Each photograph is numbered and signed by the author.

Some years ago, while working on a book commission about Provence, Meyerowitz visited Cézanne’s studio in Aix-en-Provence, and decided to take each of the objects in the studio, viewing them against the gray walls. He then decided to arrange them in rows, almost as if they were back on his shelf above the table, and made a grid of five rows with five objects on each row, with Cézanne’s hat as the centerpiece. This beautifully designed volume presents these photographs, which are at once marvelous photographic still lifes and an incredible revelation of Cézanne’s methods.
