Ceacute;zannes gluuml;cklichste Zeit war seine fruuml;he Jugend in der Provence; wo er zusammen mit Zola und einem anderen Freund in der Natur umherstreifte. Ermutigt durch Renoir; stellte er 1874 und 1877 zusammen mit den Impressionisten aus. Doch die ablehnende Haltung; mit der man seiner Kunst begegnete; verletzte ihn tief. Er malte gern Fruuml;chte; weil sie gehorsame Modelle waren; was seiner langsamen Arbeitsweise entgegenkam; dabei behielt er die dominante Farbe und den Charakter der Frucht bei; verstauml;rkte aber den emotionalen Reiz der Form durch ein Spiel von reichen; fein aufeinander abgestimmten Farbwerten. Seine eigentliche Meisterschaft entfaltete er in den Stillleben. Ceacute;zanne verstand es; seine Malkunst mit Wissen zu bereichern; dem Wissen um die Dinge ndash; dieser unabdingbaren Voraussetzung fuuml;r alles schouml;pferische Bemuuml;hen. Kurz nach dem Tod seines Vaters zog er sich fuuml;r immer auf sein Gut in der Provence zuruuml;ck und war vermutlich dort der einsamste Maler seiner Zeit. Von Zeit zu Zeit uuml;berfiel ihn eine seltsame Melancholie; ja sogar eine duuml;stere Hoffnungslosigkeit. Er konnte unberechenbar und schwierig sein; seine Leinwauml;nde zerstouml;ren oder sie zum Fenster seines Studios hinauswerfen; sie ganz einfach auf einer Wiese stehen lassen oder sie seinem Sohn geben; der sie zerschnitt und wie ein Puzzle wieder zusammensetzte. Zu Beginn des neuen Jahrhunderts holten die Bauern aus ihren Scheunen eine grouml;szlig;ere Menge von Stillleben und Landschaften; als sie houml;rten; dass ein Narr aus Paris dafuuml;r mit gutem Geld zahlte. Doch leider kam die Anerkennung zu spauml;t. Er starb 1906 an einem Fieber; das er sich zugezogen hatte; als er beim Malen vom Regen uuml;berrascht wurde.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The conceptual continuity started way back hereBy voracious readerFrank was always a little vague on his upbringing and personal family relationships and I have read all things Zappa from Franks own book; to the one by Nigey Lennon in which I did not believa much of what she said.Frank was an outsider; different moved around alot but took his music collection with him. Hated idiots in authority; bullies; fascistts and saw through the hypocrisy. All alone in his lonely teenage room; a stack of RB records; meticulously catalogued and memorized. I am grateful for that obsessive cataloguing because a teenage record collection turned into the Vault; meticulously recorded.I understand Frank More now. He truly was diffficult to work for if you were not prepared; intolerant but a loving; loyal; generous man who took care of those he loved. He never wore love on his sleeeve but many of his actions showed great generosity of spirit.Bobby Zappa knew his brother well in their early years 1-20 and people generally do not change character.Bobby did a great job told it as it was and nothing more. No wild bs groupie stories.One think I found odd was Bobby never mentioned his nieces or nephews least of all Gail.Maybe that is good maybe he did not really know them or like Gail so he maturely just omitted her. That is integrity.so withheld talking about them. It is also clear that Bobby was Franks biggest personal hero he adored him and looked up to him to the point where he really puts himself down by comparing himself to Frank. Frank was an aberration of nature he is a tough one to keep up with on many levels. Bobby has done well and if anything he has love; feelings; and integrity. He could of twisted facts to make for a more lurid book but he speaks the truth as he remembers it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great readBy amp;amp;amp;#34; Anti Microchip amp;amp;amp;#34;Bob Zappa has written a very tender and endearing account of his brothers childhood. Unlike many other books of this nature; this book really reveals Frank Zappa as a person. I loved how he reveals how Frank picked up many of his attributes from his father; a man he constantly fought with. This book is valuable to Frank Zappa fans; and anyone interested in mid 20th century culture.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The way it is written is extremely engaging and I love the humor too as Bobby Zappa shares his reflectionsBy Thomas RabakThis book is impressive in many differing ways! It addresses many developmental as well as social issues during a pivotal time in our history. The way it is written is extremely engaging and I love the humor too as Bobby Zappa shares his reflections. In addition; the amazing photos of their growing up together adds to the poignancy of the story. The genius of Frank Zappa is expressed in ways that not just describe his eclectic music style; but also the intellectual contexts that pertains to issues today. I cant share enough positives to entice others to get on the Zappa bandwagon if you arent already... Thanks so much Bobby!
