Weekly Brush Bristles … Cezanne on feeling and art

Paul Cezanne, Maison Maria, circa 1895.

 “An art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t an art at all … Feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end: craft, objective, technique – all these are in the middle.” Paul Cezanne

Cezanne brought life to every canvas, as in Rainer Maria Rilke’s wonderful summation: “It’s as if every place (on the canvas) were aware of all the other places”
