Ceacute;zannes gluuml;cklichste Zeit war seine fruuml;he Jugend in der Provence; wo er zusammen mit Zola und einem anderen Freund in der Natur umherstreifte. Ermutigt durch Renoir; stellte er 1874 und 1877 zusammen mit den Impressionisten aus. Doch die ablehnende Haltung; mit der man seiner Kunst begegnete; verletzte ihn tief. Er malte gern Fruuml;chte; weil sie gehorsame Modelle waren; was seiner langsamen Arbeitsweise entgegenkam; dabei behielt er die dominante Farbe und den Charakter der Frucht bei; verstauml;rkte aber den emotionalen Reiz der Form durch ein Spiel von reichen; fein aufeinander abgestimmten Farbwerten. Seine eigentliche Meisterschaft entfaltete er in den Stillleben. Ceacute;zanne verstand es; seine Malkunst mit Wissen zu bereichern; dem Wissen um die Dinge ndash; dieser unabdingbaren Voraussetzung fuuml;r alles schouml;pferische Bemuuml;hen. Kurz nach dem Tod seines Vaters zog er sich fuuml;r immer auf sein Gut in der Provence zuruuml;ck und war vermutlich dort der einsamste Maler seiner Zeit. Von Zeit zu Zeit uuml;berfiel ihn eine seltsame Melancholie; ja sogar eine duuml;stere Hoffnungslosigkeit. Er konnte unberechenbar und schwierig sein; seine Leinwauml;nde zerstouml;ren oder sie zum Fenster seines Studios hinauswerfen; sie ganz einfach auf einer Wiese stehen lassen oder sie seinem Sohn geben; der sie zerschnitt und wie ein Puzzle wieder zusammensetzte. Zu Beginn des neuen Jahrhunderts holten die Bauern aus ihren Scheunen eine grouml;szlig;ere Menge von Stillleben und Landschaften; als sie houml;rten; dass ein Narr aus Paris dafuuml;r mit gutem Geld zahlte. Doch leider kam die Anerkennung zu spauml;t. Er starb 1906 an einem Fieber; das er sich zugezogen hatte; als er beim Malen vom Regen uuml;berrascht wurde.

Theres detail in here that you cant find anywhere on line (easily at least). For instance; try to research the history of the mini-humbucker online. Also; I didnt really dig deeply into the book before buying it; but its actually TWO books in one - the written history; and then a model-by-model number catalog in deep detail (with beautiful color photos in-between - almost a third book). That was a very nice surprise.Equally as nice is the number of quotes from Gibson employees who were in the authoritative position to comment on the history. Ted McCarty especially seems very open and candid. You really get the feeling for the blend of intense craftsmanship melded to very savvy business sense that made Gibson so great. Every design had a logic to it; but it was executed with master skill - and they werent sentimental about any of their most beloved creations; for instance; axing the original Les Paul; or any number of hollow bodies that could stand on their own as works of art but simply didnt justify their existence with sales.I wish I could give the production of the book the same rave review. However; the binding on mine was cheaper than a glossy brochure from a real estate company. Pages started to tear away just from the act of turning them (and Im very careful with my books). This is a Hal Leonard book; and I think they just used the same method for binding that they use on their music-lesson books. It works fine for skinnier books. Or perhaps I just got a bad copy. But the CONTENTS deserve better - a hard cover too. I would decry the lack of color photography; but the center section of color photographs is so nicely done; that it makes up for it. And the BW photography in the book body is always applicable to the content; so much so that as soon as I started reading about a guitar my eye automatically started to wander the surrounding pictures looking for the example. Plus; they printed a lot of nice advertisements at sizes big enough for you to easily read.Now Im off to find an ES-5 Switchmaster.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A valuable reference source on classic gibson guitarsBy B. ChiltonThis is a highly valuable reference source on Gibson guitars and basses from the "classic era" of Gibson. It is full of details and specifications I have not found in other reference books; online; or published in VINTAGE GUITAR or other magazines. For example; quotes from his interviews with former Gibson President Ted McCarty reveal vast information about the classic years at Gibson that were not systematically published before this book was printed in 1994. And it sounds just like the Ted McCarty I knew from our chats at the Bigsby factory in Kalamazoo; Michigan; where he was for many years after his time with Gibson! The only complaint I have are some typos on specifications and a few descriptive phrases; but where are the good editors today? Weve had many years of writings since this 1994 (revised in 1998) book; yet it remains one of my most important references sources on vintage Gibson guitars and basses; such as the many patent blueprint pages.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A.R. Duchossoirs Gibson Electrics - The Classic Years is the go to book for vintage Gibson guitar enthusiastsBy Andrew WilsonWhile doing research on a rare Gibson electric double neck 6/12 guitar called the Double 12; I asked George Gruhn where I could get accurate; authoritatve information. George recommended a couple books; especially Duchossoirs Gibson Electrics - The Classic Years. I am glad I have ordered my copy. If you own; have interest or are considering to play a vintage Gibson electric guitar; this book is worth every penny. It is extremely well organized; packed with facts and pictures and a compelling read. Highly recommended.
