After Cezanne

After Cezanne is a sequence of fifty-six poems exploring the life and work of the post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne. Reimagining his friendships with Zola and Pissarro, his impact on Matisse and Picasso, as well as his posthumous reputation, Maitreyabandhu celebrates Cezanne's apples and card players in poems at once tender, urgent and amused. The book includes 26 colour reproductions, a preface by Christopher Lloyd (Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures, 1988-2005) and extensive textual notes. After Cezanne is Maitreyabandhu's third collection.
