Cézanne and the Post-Bionian Field

By inviting a 'conversation' between them, this book offers a nuanced introduction both to Cézanne - the 'father of modern art' - and perhaps the most vital body of theory in contemporary psychoanalysis: 'post-Bionian field theory', as it has been evolving in Italy in the hands of Antonino Ferro, Giuseppe Civitarese and others.
