A Comparison of the Early Works of Cezanne with His Later Development as Artist.docx
In ‘La Cote du Galet’, Cezanne experiments with structure and applies wedge-like brushstrokes as opposed to the dabbed brushstroke technique of Impressionism. Cezanne now looks at his subject matter and deliberately arranges it to provide structure. He uses groups of trees or people to draw the viewer into the picture. Cezanne becomes more concerned with color harmonies, and he looks at landscape as an organized composition.
Cézanne's Doubt According to Merleau-Ponty
2018
Merleau-Ponty’s account of perception is meant as a response to the traditional conceptions we find of it in both empiricism and idealism. These philosophies construe the event of perception as but a confused, naïve stage which lies at the genesis of a process which ultimately yields meaning through thought. MP’s stance on perception can be elucidated through the lens of his discussion of ‘gestalt’ and ‘style’ and his essay on Cézanne can be understood as a means to substantiate his views on the matter. This paper shall thus explore MP’s account of the manner in which the world presents itself to perception by examining the peculiarities of Cézanne’s artistic project in the first place — and attempt to ascertain its significance vis à vis existential thought in the second.
