"Cezanne is the finest expression of this decadence. He was truly unable to imitate
the masterpieces and all of his admired technique is merely proof of his
inability. His apples are made of cement. The paradox is that what is least
admirable is most admired: nullity! What a symbol for a period! On the pretext
of the academic being detestable, the worst in the class was made a hero! He
opens the door to the ethics of shit! Newness at whatever cost‑and art becomes
just a latrine! The logic of this search for newness leads to the glorification
of total shit of which C6zanne is the high priest."
