If you read enough of his biographies you see that Cezanne, while obviously very intelligent, was not an intellectual. His artistic theories are either simple "cubes, cylinders" etc. or vague and probably nonsensical. He was a painter and a craftsman and he discovered as he went along. People who write about him are too smart for their own good and usually never had to paint anything except a wall. He painted a picture until it looked good to him and then, hopefully, he stopped and started another. He had "instinct" which is more than can be said of those who write books about him.will hauffnoreply@blogger.com
