Cezanne communicates his struggle as an artist, that we all go through, with such candour, I felt extremely moved by the paintings, all portraits, altho I am not a figurative artist.I must say I got off on the furniture, draperies and organisation of the whole, as much as the expression in the faces.An exception is the Courtauld picture with the
white clay pipe, a masterpiece if there ever was one.I breathed in the Cezannes and haven't digested them yet, except to say since the Matisse at the RA, I think this show is second to none.The Cohens were
very good also, working across a large room.
What started out as an experiment ended up as something I'm rather proud of, this pretty three dimensional
clay petal vase that combines two loves of mine:
white ceramic sculptural thingies and
very big blooms.
