Meyerowitz brilliantly demonstrates how Czannes studio and its contents enhanced the flatness of his paintingsSome years ago, while working on a book commission about Provence, Joel Meyerowitz visited Czannes studio in AixenProvence. While there, he experienced a flash of understanding about Czannes art. Czanne had painted the studio walls a dark gray, mixing the color himself. Consequently, every object in the studio seemed to be absorbed into the gray of the background. There were no telltale reflections around the edges of the objects, so there was nothing that could separate them from the background itself. Meyerowitz suddenly saw how Czanne, making his small, patchlike brush marks, moved from the object to the background, and back again to the objects, without the illusion of perspective. After all, Czanne was the original voice of flatness.Meyerowitz decided to take each of the objects in Czannes studio and view them against the gray wall (managing to obtain permission from the Director of the Ateliernoone had touched these objects in ages). His impulse was to place each one in the exact same spot on his marbletopped table and just make a dumb record of it. He then decided to arrange them in rows, almost as if they were back on his shelf above the table, and made a grid of five rows with five objects on each row, with Czannes hat as the centerpiece.This beautifully designed volume presents these photographs, which are at once marvelous photographic still lifes and an incredible revelation of Czannes methods.
