Merleau-Ponty's Cézanne: On Doubt of the Thought and the Infinity of Perception

by Augustinus Miri

C zanne, the painter of the seen paints not only what has been.
Merleau-Ponty writes of this, the painter's world, a fleeting bliss, the colors' dance, the light that shines, and a life that is caught between the lines;
the world that C zanne makes real, Merleau-Ponty's words reveal.

Merleau-Ponty's C zanne folds the painter's work in philosophical concepts that explain how the different nuances of C zanne's color modulations transcend the limits between thought and body, color and contour, the seeing and the seen. By asking how C zanne's doubt relates to the infinity of perception, Merleau-Ponty unfolds how we interpret the world as a body that sees and yet science tells us is an illusion. In the process, Merleau-Ponty's philosophical concepts transform our perception of both C zanne's art and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology.

Both intellectually stimulating and philosophically enlightening, C zanne's art leaves a lasting impression.
