Today I am remembering yesterday's posting from my fellow painter and friend Nancy Natale about Cezanne's journey as an artist. The post was from an article in The Guardian and it's author John Berger wrote about Cezanne moving from a black box to the light of the world, moving from what I think of as a reasonable understanding of light to a felt one.

I'm also thinking about David Hockney and his camera obscura theory, about how many (probably most) notable paintings were made using this technology. Nothing wrong with that but it does 'flatten' the world into a single perspective.

I'm thinking also about mu current work with digital technology of my iPhone and about how the pixels and light work. About how the eye and mind's eye sense the light.

I love the last line of John Berger's article:
"Cézanne's conviction that what we perceive as the visible is not a given but a construction, put together by nature and ourselves. "The landscape," he said, "thinks itself in me, and I am its consciousness." He also said: "Colour is the place where our brain and the universe meet.""

And lastly I'm thinking about my new digital world view using my iPhone and how we can be transformed in the twinkling of an eye.
