Abstract
L'Estaque aux toits rouges is one of Cézanne's 1885 works created in the landsape of L'Estaque, the bay area near Marseille. This moment marked the beginnings of the painter's regional reclamation, while refraining to take part in the urban culture of Paris at the turn of the century. This artwork is indicative of the twenty-year development that Cézanne employed when his process of painting has significantly shifted. By working exclusively from and in nature, the French native was able to begin transcribing through his primordial sensation of the landscape with the essential tool of his works, cognition. Cézanne was able to adopt this manner of continuously seeing the landscape through primordial eyes, as the regional landscape of central France shifted his focus from painting in seeking to express what the Impressionists had painted onto the canvas, ad instead reinvented the manner in which he could transcribe a primordial vision that would manifest as careful allocations of color that would create the distortional and volumetric effect of a Cézanne landscape by 1885. In the case of the painter who ultimately worked exclusively in his native Aix-en-Provence, what is the role of the regionalist landscape in the development of Cézanne's process?
