This text is hand drawn in the work:
Cezanne threw a sort of bomb into the representation of the outside world
valid since Giotto
by painting a head like an object
By establishing more relation between the left ear and the background than with the right ear, more relation between the color of the hair and the color of the sweater than with the shape of the skull
he exploded the concept that had existed before him of the unity of the head. Any representation that wishes to return to the vision that preceded his
would belong to the museums.
