It is generally acknowledged that the twenty-five paintings by Paul Cezanne in the possession of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (14) and the Hermitage in Leningrad (11) constitute an extremely important part of th…e artist's legacy. They are not only of a high standard but are superb examples of the main periods in Cezanne's artistic career. Besides such recognized masterpieces as The Banks of the Marne, Great Pine near Aix, and Mont Sainte- Victoire, there are also some unique works, unparalleled in Cezanne's oeuvre, such as Girl at the Piano and Pierrot and Harlequin. All the paintings were acquired at the beginning of this (20th) century by two outstanding Russian collectors, Ivan Morozov and Sergei Shchukin, men of impeccable taste with a true eye for great art, which accounts for the exceptional quality of their collections. In buying Cezanne's canvases they were also encouraged by the keen interest which the Russian artistic public evinced in the master from Provence. As early as 1904, the year of Cezanne's first one-man show at the Salon d' Automne in Paris, the St Petersburg magazine Mir Iskusstva published reviews of Cezanne's exhibitions in Berlin and Paris. These were followed by a number of articles in the art magazines in 1910 and 1912. It was at this period that most of Cezanne's canvases now in the Soviet Union were acquired. In 1907, after Cezanne's posthumous exhibition at the Salon d' Automne, Ivan Morozov purchased two of his paintings, Plain by Mont Sainte-Vie to ire and Still Life with Curtain. But even in the most comprehensive of these treatises, the researcher was not able to cover the master's enormous output comprising over 800 pictures, about 500 drawings, and 350 watercolors. Each researcher therefore made his own selection from this treasure house and evaluated each chosen piece according to its merits. The author of this article attempts to analyse Cezanne's artistic development on the basis of pictures collected by Morozov and Shchukin. This is all the more interesting in view of the fact that Russian artists and critics also contributed to the collecting of Cezanne's works in this country, and that several generations of Russian and Soviet painters have drawn inspiration from the Cezannes in Morozov's and Shchukin's collections. There are 47 pages descriptive text followed by a biographical outline 1839 to Cezanne's death in 1906. This is followed by the 52 plates and 22 pages of notes on the plates. And lastly there is a list of Cazanne's exhibitions from 1895 in Paris 1982 in Tokyo. Kutovoi, Nikolai - Layout and Design (ilustrador).
