Features: This book introduces a group of museum directors, critics, and artists from around the world who selected nearly 350 artists born around the turn of the 20th century. These artists, mostly born between 1865 and 1900, inherited the style of Cézanne and were dedicated to depicting the world as they perceived it, rather than depicting the world as it truly was. They used geometry to recreate nature and embodied life in movement, thereby breaking the constraints of perspective rules in painting composition since the Renaissance. The book compiles scattered information such as the artists' biographies, works, artist's proverbs, and a representative work, providing readers with a comprehensive overview. It is suitable for a broad audience interested in 20th-century art and artists.
