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.”
-- Alberto Giacometti
