If Cézanne attempts to have the landscape think itself within his experience, it can do so only in terms of the
cultural forms that are at hand, or that he will invent in response to the complex
richness of the landscape.
If the values we give to the environment are
cultural, in the sense that wonder, contrast and
richness of experience are general human values, then we don't run the risk of patronising other cultures whose value system is different from our own.
