Description
Rilke's responses to Cezanne's art are a deeply personal and profound exploration of creativity and life. In 1907, Rainer Maria Rilke returned to a Paris gallery nearly every day to view an exhibition of the French master's work. His reactions were not just intellectual assessments, but also deeply emotional and introspective letters to his wife, Clara Westhoff. These letters offer a unique glimpse into Rilke's inner world as he grappled with Cezanne's innovative style and its impact on his own artistic vision. Written in 1907, they provide a powerful and prescient undercurrent that can be seen in Rilke's later work, including his novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Letters on Cezanne is a collection of meaningfully private responses to a radically new art, offering insight into the creative process and the artist's inner world.
