The Birth of Detachment





Boy with Skull, by Paul Cezanne

The Abduction, by Paul Cezanne

Who was the wildman?

What was abducted?



"His detached contemplation of his subjects
arises from a passionate aspiring nature
that seeks to master its own impulses
through an objective attitude to things.



Color, drawing, modelling, structure,
touch and expression - if any of these
can be isolated from the others -
are carried to a new height in his work."
