Kitaj's enigmatic and highly personal paintings contemporary culture, Jewish engage with his identity, and the horror of the Holocaust. His hero is Cezanne: "He is my greatest painter of all and the three last Bathers are my favorite art of all." Kitaj recently embarked on a series of seven major new paintings inspired by Cezanne's Bathers for an exhibition at the National Gallery, London. These new works are reproduced here for the first time, together with a series of black chalk drawings, directly inspired by Cezanne. The book includes a short essay about Kitaj's work, which places the new paintings in the context of his earlier works and reveals his constant preoccupation with the Old Masters. There is also a new and previously unpublished interview with the artist.
