Date: 14 March 2012 (Wednesday) “C\u00e9zanne’s Gravity” concerns the nineteenth century mathematics of curved space, notions of the object in space suggested by the theory of relatively, and the relation to both of Paul C\u00e9zanne’s still-life work. It argues that it is in C\u00e9zanne’s work, rather than in that of the cubists, that there is the most resonance with the Einsteinian space-time continuum. At the same time, and on the basis of the model of temporality provided by relativity, it argues against the modernist teleology at the head of which C\u00e9zanne is usually place.<\/p>\n Speaker: Carol Armstrong<\/strong><\/p>\n Carol Armstrong is one of the world’s leading and most innovative scholars on Impressionism.
