Sublimity of Non-objectivity. About Abstraction in Paul Cézanne’s Painting

Summary/Abstract: Sublimity of Non-objectivity. About Abstraction in Paul Cézanne’s Painting My primary aim in this essay is to understand origins of abstract background of Cézanne’s painting. Under what conditions does accurate ‘abstract’ representation of the physical world is possible? I show that Cézanne’s painting is not a simply reduction of reality, but original proposition of reconstruction of seeing. Using a conception of sublime in Kant’s point of view; as a distinctive perceptual and psychological phenomenon I argue that non-objectivity painting, as well as abstract painting, represent the physical, social and developmental world not less, than primitive type of representation, which is based on the concept of illusion. I believe that philosophy and aesthetics has a tradition and a set of methodological and conceptual tools, which can’t be ignored in understanding of Cézanne’s painting.
