Late in his life the great French painter Paul Cezanne writing in a letter to his fellow painter Emile Bernard, summarized his artistic philosophy---” I pursue the realization of that part of nature, which coming into our line of vision, gives us the picture. Now the theme to develop is that---Whatever our temperament or form of strength face to face with nature may be, we must render the image of what we see, forgetting everything that existed before us, which i behest to give his entire personality, whether great or small---In order to make progress, there is only nature, and the eye is trained through contact with her.”  In another letter dated, may, 1904, he further states that “ painters must devote themselves entirely to the study of nature--Talking about art is almost useless.”
