Great Artist 1 Paul Cezanne
Work: Farm in Normandy
Paul Cézanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, colour, tone, composition
and draughtsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive and exploratory
brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes
of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields, at once
both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an
abstraction from observed nature. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study
of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the
complexity of human visual perception.

Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early
20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us
all" cannot be easily dismissed.

Cézanne was interested in the simplification of naturally occurring forms to
their geometric essentials; he wanted to "treat nature by the cylinder, the
sphere, the cone" (a tree trunk may be conceived of as a cylinder, an apple or
orange a sphere, for example).

Where creativity comes from
From my own experience as an artist and musician, and in speaking with others, I suppose it really is something deeply personal and very much a lifelong journey of discovery. Well, and let’s face it – sometimes frustration. That perfect image you imagined eludes you when you make your first brush stroke. Or, that melody just doesn’t sound as clear on your guitar as it did in your head. Any musician or artist can relate and has a unique process they must go through.
Much has been written about Van Gogh and his paintings. Emotionally struggling his whole life, the turbulent brush strokes and vibrant color that defines much of his work culminated in an intense three year period at the end of his life. A period of time where he created some of his finest paintings. Amazingly, he only sold one painting while living. Perhaps more amazing, his ”Portrait of Doctor Gachet” sold in 1990 for a cool $82.5 million. Not bad.
Of course, Vincent van Gogh didn’t paint for fame and fortune. He painted because it was impossible for him to not paint.
In fact, his life work is testament to an inner turmoil that, in my humble opinion, must surface and come out to make the work of a good artist or musician truly great. For, we all as humans need honest art. Art that says, “You’re not alone.”
Now, all this is not to say you must cut your ear off and truly go off the deep end for your art. But drawing deeper from inside yourself and allowing your experiences – both joyful and sad – to come out a bit is the very difference between it being just a note and it being a B.B. King note. If you catch my drift.
I’d love to hear your comments on where you think the desire to create comes from.
