Paul Cezanne - The Great Pine (Mont Sainte-Victoire) - 1886 - 60 x 73 - oil on canvas<\/p><\/div>\n

Cezanne did a number of paintings of Mont Sainte – Victoire which is fortunate for us as we can see the consistencies in his compositions.\u00a0 These paintings show us that repeating and refining is a strength in art.<\/p>\n

We see the same considerations in this composition as the last post.\u00a0 It takes time and a great deal of effort to develop a masterful composition and good artists will continue to refine the endless possibilities.\u00a0 I think the first composition in a series, whether figurative or abstract, is an opening to infinite refinements\u00a0\u00a0 We see this in the work of most masters, no matter what their discipline.<\/p>\n

I don’t know which of these paintings was first, no matter, what is important is we see the same rhythms and integrations.\u00a0 What matters is each painting required its own refinements which are assessed differently to suit each composition.\u00a0 In other words has it’s own voice.\u00a0 One key difference are the angles we see in the branches, paralleling the road and other lines in the fields.\u00a0 Wonderful integration providing oblique movement leading into the composition from the bottom right and great structure.\u00a0 I also love the sophistication of how that black rectangle provides the focus.\u00a0 Also, note the green line coming up from the tree towards the black rectangle is fantastic!\u00a0 Do you see the triangle it creates reinforcing the importance of the rectangle?<\/p>\n

There is also a harmonious rhythmic line running across the bottom, supporting the rhythm of the branches. I must also point out the parallel lines in the mountain directing us towards the black rectangle.<\/p>\n

What a painter!<\/p>\n
