Philippe Auguste Paul Cezanne Art
1,052 wordsAfter fifty years of the most radical change in art from images to free abstraction, Czanne's painting, which looks old-fashioned today in its attachment to nature, maintains itself fresh and stimulating to young painters of our time.

His power to excite artists of different tendency and temperament is due, I think, to the fact that he realized with equal fullness so many dif...
