Featured life
Paul Cézanne
1906 - Aix-en-Provence.
I went back to the motif after the collapse because the motif remains what it is regardless of the body, and if the body now protests, falters, surrenders its force in the rain beneath the mountain, that does not alter the mountain’s necessity or the unfinished canvas waiting in the studio with the same quiet and intolerable right it possessed the day before I dropped in the field.
