Paul Cezanne, perhaps more than any Impressionist, felt an attachment to his birthplace that would endure throughout his lifetime. From the farmhouse where he was raised at Jas de Bouffan to his final home at Lauves, his native region of Provence would provide both the creative and physical sustenance necessary to fuel his unique artistic vision. In a letter, Cezanne once wrote of Provence, "When you are born there, you're done for. Nothing else is appealing." And so he spent most of his life there, taking long walks in the country, hunting, camping, and, of course, painting all that this beautiful area of France has to offer: the strange Chateau-Noir, the undisturbed silence of the Bibemus quarry, and the majestic Mont Sainte-Victoire, which would become a recurring theme in Cezanne's paintings. When not out wandering the Provencal countryside, Cezanne often brought nature inside in the form of apples, pears, peaches, oranges, and other fruit that he painted as still fifes. As beloved as Provence was to Cezanne, so too were his favorite Provencal dishes. Although he once claimed that his favorite meal was "potatoes in oil," he enjoyed a variety of foods prepared by his mother and later by his cook, Madame Bremond. Fifty of these special recipes are included in this book, attesting to the simple and bounteous Provencal cuisine that Cezanne held so dear. Authors Jacqueline Saulnier and Gilles Plazy fondly revive Cezanne's Provence by concentrating on the painter's life and career at his four main Provencal addresses. Special attention is given to the cuisine that is brought temptingly to life by internationally renowned photographer Jean-Bernard Naudin's full-color photographs. Images of Provence, Cezanne's paintings, and recreations of his still lifes add to the extraordinary beauty of a book to be treasured for its portrait of the artist, his home, and his way of life.

This book takes an unusual angle to view one of the masters of Impressionism. We are taken on a visual and culinary tour around late nineteenth-century Paris, and are introduced to the favourite haunts of the Impressionist group, captured in the good-natured festivities of Renoir's painting, "Dejeuner des Canotiers" for example, painted from life in the Restaurant Fournaise in Chatou or we are invited to join the diners on the banks of the Seine, evoking the atmosphere of "The Luncheon of the Boating Party". No one knew better than Renoir how to capture the sensuality and relaxation of the open air, the joy of living on a brilliant summers afternoon. Alongside a selection of Renoirs much-loved paintings we have gastronomic portraits; from Bouillabaisse Provengale to Potage Crecy and Firtures de Goujon, Chicken Renoir or Baked Tomatoes Cezanne, made especially by Madame Renoir, for a visit from the artist to her home. Each recipe is taken from an authentic contemporary source, recreating the feel of turn of the century Paris. Also depicted is Renoir's family life, an essential element in his often hectic career, a life which arrived late into his middle age.  The Renoir family spent summers in Essoyes, in the eastern French countryside where the bucolic climate and hospitable style of daily life there is portrayed in ninety colour photographs of the region. Towards the end of his life Renoir was enchanted by this rural environment; featuring an abundance of flowers and olive trees framed by azure skies, captured in his later landscapes. The cast of characters in this bohemian, though sometimes harsh life include a list of the most gifted people of the day, Zola, Manet, and Cezanne as well as minor painters, writers, art dealers, society hostesses, cooks, restaurateurs, maids - all are drawn with loving recall; their stories taken from contemporary letters, and especially Jean Renoirs memoirs which invoke the heady, pleasure-seeking lifestyle which epitomises this fascinating era.

He was one of the most colorful authors who ever lived, as fascinating as any character he wrote. "Papa" Ernest Hemingway ran with the bulls in Pamplona, observed and reported on the Spanish Civil War firsthand, avidly hunted and fished, and drank enthusiastically. For over twenty years, until his suicide, he resided in Cuba, a land that he loved and where he was deeply loved in return. This is a history of the profound relationship between country and man, as seen by an author who retraced Hemingway's footsteps, and toured the novelist and adventurer's hideouts and hangouts, all shown in exceptional photographs. Step into the Hotel Ambos Mundos, where he penned his masterpiece For Whom the Bell Tolls, and inside the Floridita, the bar where Hemingway met his friends and downed mojitos. Visit the fishing village of Cojimar, his boat Pilar, and most importantly La Finca Vigia, Hemingway's home--preserved exactly as it was when he lived there. A beautiful evocation of an age gone by, still wonderfully preserved, and an always-compelling writer.
