One of the things that attract me to the work of Paul Cézanne is the flattening of the pictorial space. 'The House of the Hanged Man' is hard to 'enter' as a viewer, as you bump straight away into walls of paint. "Cézanne organized the picture like stage wings in depth, the horizon high and he indicated the distance through the gradual lightening of the blue. He levels, however, the effect of depth with the sun-lit parts and so largely neutralizes the distance of the various grounds".

  2. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Thanks. melbourne discounts coupons
