Merleau-Ponty's Cézanne: On Doubt of the Thought and the Infinity of Perception

Merleau-Ponty's Cézanne is a small book that transcends the limits between body and thought, color and contour, the seer and the seen. Merleau-Ponty unfolds Cézanne's doubting thoughts and infinite perception, asking how Cézanne interprets the world around him as a body that sees, but which science still claims is an illusion. By folding Cézanne's art into philosophical concepts, Merleau-Ponty reveals the many nuances of Cézanne's color modulations that transcend our way of seeing; and in the process, both our perceptions of Cézanne's works and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology are transformed.
Both intellectually stimulating and philosophically enlightening, Cézanne's art leaves a lasting impression.
