Paul Cezanne and Information

Paul Cezanne, 1887
According to Kit White, "Static images deliver the information they contain instantly and can be investigated, meditated, and analyzed over an extended period of time."  Paintings are great for this extended transmittal of information over time.  At the gallery or museum, there is no time limit for viewing a painting.  With the Internet, practically any painting can be seen and printed out for further analysis.  I enjoy both the instantaneous experience of a painting and the slow reveal in other paintings.  Even some of the most simple paintings can truly be full of revelation.  Enjoy!
