Cézanne

Hello art lovers and readers. Today we are going to talk about Cézanne. Now, I recently read a book, which I will definitely comment on in due course, obviously by Chaim Potok which deals with the concept of aartistic expression amongst other themes. Within it, the idea of the artist painter being misunderstood is expanded to include all artists: "I have never come across a happy artist. Except maybe Rembrandt." The narrator continues commenting: "Nobody could hide grief as well as Cézanne through his oranges and lemons." What do you think? Are all artists depressed and misunderstood? Do artist think, rethink and think over something petty? Do they see the world as ugly? Does 'happiness write white' in the works of an artist? I'm not sure I have an opinion yet, in my young and ignorant mind. Maybe soon I'll be able to form one, or maybe I'm not an artist at all! We'll see...
