Cezanne at The Courtauld

Cezanne leaves the canvas showing through in places, as though to say here is how a painting begins, he fills up his wonky figures with brushwork to show you the end. In the middle there is Cezanne rhyming marks and shapes and scribbles, like Van Gogh getting paintings to do what drawing can, keep all its touches on the surface.
