Do the people, whoever they might be, real or imagined, look good in the picture? Does it look right? This amalgamation, serene or dynamic, compels our attention and encourages closer examination. Rather, it is the integrated character of a picture, its color, the relationship of each part to the whole, that is beguiling. The best portraits by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, without parallel in the history of painting, were dismissed by Cezanne, who disparaged Ingres as “only a very little painter.” 3 Figures are the means to a pictorial end. I am as indifferent to the identities and life stories of the sitters as most art historians who write about Cezanne claim he was. Of course, when I say “captivating,” it is not the subject of the picture, per se, that draws me to it, even with the portraits. They all produced radiant and captivating paintings. These painters all strove for singularity. Paul Gauguin, Claude Monet, George Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Vincent van Gogh. And all pictures work in accordance with a set of ideals and principles imagined beforehand.Ĭezanne is not an outlier in this regard. What was Cezanne trying to get right after all that time? Every picture painted must be made to work.

The painter needed a series of long sessions-possibly extended over several years-to resolve Madame Cezanne in a Yellow Chair, which raises questions about its method of execution. We could ask: What sensations of vision, color, and light determined the arrangement of planes and strokes in this picture? Has rendering the irreconcilable discrepancies between seeing and painting become a formula readily applicable to any circumstance? Portraits and still lifes don’t challenge a painter’s powers of observation and selection the way painting landscapes out-of-doors does.
