I learned to understand Cezanne much better and to see truly how he made landscapes when I was hungry. I used to wonder if he were hungry too when he painted; but I thought possibly it was only that he had forgotten to eat. It was one of those unsound but illuminating thoughts you have when you have been sleepless or hungry. Later I thought Cezanne was probably hungry in a different way.


I agree with Hemingway. Being hungry can make you appreciate some things in a more intimate way.

Well, having gone hungry before, really all it's taught me to do is eat even if I don't like what I'm eating. I hate mushrooms. Sometimes if the flavor's strong enough or the texture gets me, I almost gag.
I will still eat them.
Not sure what Hemingway means.

Specially food, I guess.

Your brain is more alert when you're moderately famished.

Don't eat before an exam.

I really like Cezanne but I don't know shit about visual art.

I always thought he captured movement as it occurs in the mind. As in, the way the brain captures and distorts light from the external world and how images are perceived in memory.

But I was just really fucking high that one time and now that interpretation of Cezanne has stayed with me.

hunger is the best sauce in the world- Sancho Panza

For me the best description of hunger is the description of bread- A poet (according to Werner Herzog in Encounters at the End of the World

I think that Hemmingway quote has dual meanings. 1 the literal hunger that has been mentioned. 2 metaphorical hunger for something intangible, some sort of goal.

But im sure everyone who agrees already knew, and everyone who disagrees will still dissagree, im tired and decided to post anyways.

Btw, if you like Cezanne, perhaps Emile Zola's "The Masterpiece" might interest you.

Both Zola and Cezanne were close friends. Cezanne was not selling much of his paints and pretty much relied on his friend, Emile Zola for financial support.

Then Zola writes a novel about a retard with little talent in the fashion of his Rougon-Macquart and they fight over it.

I'm a big fan of Zola but never had read that novel. I just knew the story behind it. And yes, Zola was a prick.
