Cezanne: Life is an unconventional biography. It is not a chronological account of the artist's life, but rather a series of essays that explore different aspects of his character and work. Danchev examines Cezanne's relationship with his family, his friends, and his fellow artists. He also explores the artist's struggles with mental illness and his lifelong quest for recognition.

Through his insightful analysis, Danchev reveals the complex and contradictory nature of Cezanne's personality. He shows us a man who was both brilliant and insecure, passionate and withdrawn. He also shows us an artist who was constantly experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what was possible in painting.

Cezanne: Life is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the life and work of this groundbreaking artist. It is a book that will challenge your understanding of Cezanne and deepen your appreciation for his art.
