This book will also compare their respective use of abstract philosophical symbols and concrete artistic symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe writer rediscovers Cézanne's paintings in detail and finds 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 his painting as homage -an exciting prospect for art historians and philosophers alike. (Please reference the book cover). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside from arguing the intensive relatedness between the two in the form of book for the first time, the author also points out how Bergson's philosophical development continued to have influence on some of Cezanne's artistic successors, such as the main proponents of Fauvism, Cubism and Futurism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsequently, a principal characteristic of early 20th century French painting could be interpreted as the multiple formal expressions and innovative developments of Bergsonian style, or the crystallization of Bergsonism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout authro: Chao-liang Calvin Yu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNational Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan, M.A. (Art)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese Cultural University, Taiwan, Ph.D. (Philosophy)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNational Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences, Associate Professor, 2002-19\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheses: Cézanne and Bergson--Bergsonism in Cézanne's Late Works, Bergsonism in Modern Painting--from Matisse to Duchamp (Chinese version)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovel: The Code of Cézanne (Chinese version)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chao-Liang Calvin Yu,尤昭良\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647848385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647848385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ehgbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.54d","brand":"Chao-Liang Calvin Yu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241426825471,"sku":"9781647848385","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0041ffa9-9f64-4704-bf2f-45d8db02708d.jpg?v=1772654356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/czszanne-and-bergson-chao-liang-calvin-yu-9781647848385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
