The Paintings of Paul Cezanne : A Catalogue Raisonne by John Rewald, Walter Feilchenfeldt, Jayne Warman, Walter Felchenfeldt (Contributor)
The New York Times Book Review, Michael Kimmelman  The Paintings of Paul Cezanne: A Catalogue Raisonne, finally published in two volumes, is as much a monument to  Rewald as it is to the artist he revered.... One can sense his commitment even in the Cezanne catalogue, reference book  though it is, which allowed him to ruminate about much of whatever interested him.... It should go without saying that  the catalogue is a trove of bibliographical and other nuts-and-bolts details. 

Cezanne by Isabelle Cahn, Henri Loyrette, Joseph J. Rishel (Contributor), Francoise Cachin
You may hesitate, as we did, at the sight of yet another book about Cezanne, but this handsomely produced retrospective volume is without question the grandest of them all. The superb reproductions (258 in the best color and crispest focus this reviewer has ever seen and 350 in rich black-and-white) document the artist's entire revolutionary oeuvre, from his earliest pencil drawings to his watercolors, sketchbooks, and magnificent paintings. The commentary, based on meticulous research by Cachin--curator, scholar, and president of the National Museums of France--and her esteemed colleagues, is of the highest order, penetrating and illuminating in its interpretations of the man, his work, and his enormous influence on modern art.

Paul Cezanne (Masters of Art Series) by Meyer Schapiro, Mike Cezanne (Photographer)
As an art student Paul Cezanne became the paragon upon which I measured all other subsequent painters. The writer that taught me to see him as the North Star in that vast, swirling sky of artists was Meyer Schapiro. Having read the above book literally a dozen or more times I have found that it is an inexhaustible treasure. Mr. Schapiro's insights are both scholarly and poetic. He above all seems to understand that Cezanne, while instrumental as a precursor to cubism, was first and foremost a great individual  artist.

Cezanne : Landscape into Art by Pavel Machotka - Book Description  This beautiful book presents a new perspective on C_zanne`s landscape paintings, comparing them to color photographs of the same sites. Machotka, himself an artist, provides a close and thorough examination of how Czanne transformed nature into art, and the result is an original and illuminating study of the great painter`s methods and  techniques.
