I was scared, walking in--the series of metal doors closing behind us reminded us that the people we were meeting were criminals, locked up to avoid polluting the rest of society, a tumor isolated from the body.

One cannot guess what form art might have assumed without the example of late Cézanne. He was to cubism what Masaccio had been to the Florentine Renaissance. But Cézanne's importance as progenitor of modern art has, paradoxically, blurred him as a painter. As the English art historian Lawrence Gowing remarks, "In his last years Cézanne was reaching out for a kind of modernity that did not exist, and still does...
