Reading and making of a model: Cézanne’s task

Main Article Content

María Elena Muñoz

Abstract

The following text is the result of a research made upon the letters and the painting of Paul Cézanne oriented by the quest about de model. According to my preliminary thinking, the model is what articulates the relationship between art and nature, between painting and the sensible world. How this pioneer of modern painting understood that kind of relation? What was the model for him? What was the model’s role in the production of the work? These are some of the questions that the present article will try to answer by revising his letters, paintings, motifs, and giving special attention to the way in which art and nature are woven in Cézanne’s work.
