Physicality

There's a wonderful ditty of a book about art by Jeanette Winterson. She talks about the nature of the artist in perceptive, direct ways and says something I really relate to. She says artists are intensely aware of the physical world.

I just love what she writes about Cezanne. Cezanne painted like a blind man. He seems to have hands in his eyes and eyes in his hands.
