"In this catalogue of drawings of Paul Cézanne, most of the artist's drawings known to us at the present time are reproduced and described. A few wash and pastel works have been included with the drawings, but - with negligible exceptions - the watercolor drawings are not to be found here: these will be classified with the watercolors in the catalogue of Cézanne's paintings and watercolors that John Rewald is now preparing... This catalogue is preceded, of course, by that of Lionello Venturi..." (Chappius)
