Guston and Cezanne

I saw this sleeve in a Guston up at the Modern. Earlier this week I made this crop from a Cezanne Bather Painting.

Ive seen this similar idea in Hockney and in Johns. Cezanne's surface had some simile as a Harlequin figure, the figure of Harlequin as the surface of painting.

Cezanne used these flat brushstrokes to turn the form of an orange and at the same time make the surface of the canvas non illusionistic and physical.
