PAUL CÉZANNE Paysage a Auvers, Entrée de ferme.
Etching printed in dark brown, 1873. 133x109 mm; 51/4x41/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 600. A very good, dark impression.
This is one of 4 small landscape etchings by Cézanne from a printed oeuvre that consists of only 9 images. Whether he was reluctant or simply not interested in printmaking, one has to wonder whether Cézanne would have made any etchings had it not been for the insistence of his friend Pissarro (see lots 45 and 102) to visit him at Pontoise to take up etching with Dr. Gachet. Cézanne's bold, dense modelling of the trees in this work is indebted to the bold clumps of drypointed trees in several of Rembrandt's landscapes as well as those of his contemporaries like Jacob van Ruisdael. Cherpin 5.
