Dzogchen, Cezanne and Human Perception... For Cezanne, the canvas itself takes on the role of a screen where an artist's visual sensations are registered as he gazes intensely, and often repeatedly, at a given subject....
Cezanne: The Pseudoscopic Content... It is the work of the 19th century painter Cezanne, where pseudoscopic qualities literally come to the fore..... referred to as 'binocular ambiguities'. ...
Painting & the Pseudoscope... A pseudoscope is a binocular optical instrument that reverses depth perception. It is used to study human stereoscopic perception. Objects viewed through it appear inside out, for example: a box on a floor would appear as a box shaped hole in the floor ...The view of the left eye is swapped with that of the right eye."
Cezanne & the Fixed Gaze... Cézanne often spent hours contemplating a brushstroke. Out in the open air, he would stare at his subject until it melted under his gaze, until the forms of the worlds had decayed into a formless mess. By making hbis vision disintegrate, Cézanne was trying to return to the start of sight, to become nothing but “a sensitive recording plate.” The slowness of this method forced Cézanne to focus on simple things, like a few red apples set on a trapezoid of table, or a single mountain seen from afar. But he knew that the subject itself was irrelevant. Stare hard enough, his paintings implore, and the laws of the known universe will emerge from just about anything."
