However nowadays, few people mention this anymore. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen our protagonist left his former career and returned to school in the 1990s, he fell into the world of art. While studying Western art theory, he was fascinated by the parallels between Bergson and the art he researched. Our main character followed the spiritual guidance of Cézanne and his successors, Matisse and Picasso, and devoted himself to tracing the prospect of this century-old legend.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Through many struggles and endless toil, he resolved the mystery in Cézanne's various paintings (e.g., cardplayers, smokers, still-lifes, mountains, portraits, bathers, etc.). He rediscovered Cézanne's paintings in detail and found that Cézanne incorporated three Bergsonian figures (vertical and horizontal lines, cone, and shell) as the composition in two of his famous paintings. Moreover, Cézanne skillfully embedded Bergson's initials, H.B., in these paintings. He has found the undeniable linkage. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis book covers the many predecessors and masters over the past centuries whose collective efforts have led to wonderful artistic discovery.
