About this book
The foreword argues that great art has an animating purpose directed toward a specific goal, rooted in aesthetic consciousness and concerned with problems of the creative will. The discussion maintains that modern art's lack of a tradition of means has dispersed its practitioners' vitality by requiring empirical research.
The account credits Cézanne with concentrating his predecessors' divergent efforts and incorporating into his canvases both the aspirations and achievements of the art which had preceded him. The discussion of Gauguin describes his dissatisfaction with civilized landscapes and his desire for elemental scenes where untamed nature produced people of simple and colourful character.
