Maurice Merleau-Ponty's "Cézanne's Doubt" is a seminal essay exploring the philosophical implications of Paul Cézanne's artistic practice.
Merleau-Ponty analyzes Cézanne's paintings as a manifestation of his phenomenological approach to perception and the world.
The essay delves into Cézanne's struggle to capture the essence of things, his questioning of traditional representational methods, and his focus on the lived experience of seeing.
Merleau-Ponty highlights Cézanne's emphasis on the ambiguity and depth of perception, arguing that his paintings reveal the inherent ambiguity of the world itself.
The essay remains a significant contribution to both art criticism and phenomenological philosophy.
