one can find very often the same objects in Cézanne's still lifes
I think the subject of his painting means less to him than the form
the color and the composition
people think that a sugar bowl has no face, no soul
you have to concentrate to see them
he wants to make a solid and sustainable art
whenever he paints the sea at l'Estaque, near Marseille
the water is not vibrating
it's a surface that is solid
that's fundamental to Cézanne
this need to seize
to fill himself with his subject
