Rilke's prayerful responses to the french master's beseeching art

For a long time nothing, and then suddenly one has the right eyes.

Virtually every day in the fall of 1907, Rainer Maria Rilke returned to a Paris gallery to view a Cezanne exhibition. Nearly as frequently, he wrote dense and joyful letters to his wife, Clara Westhoff, expressing his dismay before the paintings and his ensuing revelations about art and life.

Rilke was knowledgeable about art and had even published monographs, including a famous study of Rodin that inspired his New Poems. But Cezanne's impact on him could not be conveyed in a traditional essay. Rilke's sense of kinship with Cezanne provides a powerful and prescient undercurrent in these letters -- passages from them appear verbatim in Rilke's great modernist novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. Letters on Cezanne is a collection of meaningfully private responses to a radically new art.

我觉得很好看的一本书，学生们却几乎都很不喜欢……唉

通勤地铁上看完，里面有一句话印象很深刻：He knew how to swallow back his love for every apple and put it rest in the painted apple forever. Rilke真是读懂了Cezanne，这两位都是谦逊而伟大的灵魂啊！信中也涉及到Rilke对Van Gogh和Rodin的理解，Cezanne画作中用色的品评，及画作对其写作的影响。而我也通过Rilke的信件从另一些角度思考Cezanne的画作。P.S. 日常羡慕Clara Rilke.

Somehow I too must discover the/smallest constituent element, the cell of my art,/the tangible immaterial means of/expressing everything . . . " To Lou Andreas-Salomé, August 10, 1903
