During the beginning of the 20th century, the possible connection between Paul Cezanne's art and Henri Bergson's philosophy was once a legend. However nowadays, few people mention this anymore.

When our protagonist left his former career and returned to school in the 1990s, he fell into the world of art. While studying Western art theory, he was fascinated by the parallels between Bergson and the art he researched. Our main character followed the spiritual guidance of Cezanne and his successors, Matisse and Picasso, and devoted himself to tracing the prospect of this century-old legend.

Through many struggles and endless toil, he resolved the mystery in Cezanne's various paintings (e.g., cardplayers, smokers, still-lifes, mountains, portraits, bathers, etc.). He rediscovered Cezanne's paintings in detail and found that Cezanne incorporated three Bergsonian figures (vertical and horizontal lines, cone, and shell) as the composition in two of his famous paintings. Moreover, Cezanne skillfully embedded Bergson's initials, H.B., in these paintings. He has found the undeniable linkage.

This book covers the many predecessors and masters over the past centuries whose collective efforts have led to wonderful artistic discovery. Despite feeling like a child onlooker, our protagonist was honored to participate.
