jan 22, 1906 - Cezanne - "Large Bathers

Description:

“I wanted to make of Impressionism something solid and enduring, like the art in museums.” For him, form was essential.

“Deal with nature as cylinders, spheres and cones, all placed in perspective so that each aspect of an object or a plane goes towards a central point…. Now, for us men, nature consists more of depth than of surface, whence the need to introduce into our vibrations of light, represented by reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of shades of blue to make the air felt.”
