Paul Ceacute;zanne was the leading figure in the revolution toward abstraction in modern painting. His influence on the course of modern art; particularly on the development of cubism; is enormous and deep. In his early career; he was strongly influenced by Delacroix and Courbet. Through Pissarro; Cezanne came to know Manet and the Impressionist painters. He exhibited with the Impressionists in 1874; but eventually rejected what he considered the Impressionists lack of structure. Cezanne sought to "recreate nature" by simplifying forms to their basic geometric equivalents; utilizing contrasts of colour and considerable distortion to express the essence of landscape; still-lifes; and figural groupings. Instead of adhering to the traditional focalized system of perspective; he portrayed objects from shifting viewpoints. Cezanne worked in oil; watercolour; and drawing media; often making several versions of his works.

From a Taoists perspectiveBy Robert DumontFirst off; the calendar dates in the back of the book are the correct starting ending dates for the years. This means the author and publisher recognized and corrected the discrepencies in Susan Levitts astrology book. Though I am a practitioner of Taoism I am new to Feng Shui. This book is one of the best sources for learning to practice basic Feng Shui techniques. It even gives you tips and info reguarding what areas to focus on depending on what animal and element you were born into. This book also gives you tips on what to avoid doing. Im giving this book a 4-star rating because the information is not as well organized as the astrology book. The information seems to be somewhat scattered and in some instances backwards. The astrology book also seemed to be written backwards but the info was organized exactly how I would have done it. This is otherwise a very good and helpful book and I will study it further to apply the techniques to my and my familys own situations.
