The Problem of Cézanne the Person in Relation to His Art

The abstract discusses the unique artistic style of Paul Cézanne and his approach to representing nature and objects in his paintings. It explores the concept of the "extrahuman" in Cézanne's work, where the human presence is absent and objects appear as if they have not passed through a sentient consciousness. The abstract also discusses the inanimate quality of Cézanne's paintings, where objects lack emotional or intellectual appeal and seem frozen in time. It compares Cézanne's art to other artistic movements such as impressionism and romanticism, highlighting the distinctiveness of his style. The abstract concludes by mentioning the relationship between space and objects in Cézanne's paintings, noting the absence of independent value in space and the emergence of objects from an unformed field.
