Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 1999.

This dissertation concerns the ways in which the writing of Paul Cezanne's biography intersected with the interpretation of his paintings of the nude. The strange intensity and deformed anatomies of Cezanne's images of male and female bathers were so puzzling to his contemporaries that they could only be explained, it seemed, by the eccentricities of their maker. Thanks to Emile Zola's description of "artistic impotence" in L'Oeuvr and Emile Bernard's early writings on the artist, stories of Cezanne's sexual anxieties and his excessive passion for and fear of women were used to justify his approach to image-making, suggesting that as a result Cezanne could not work from the live model because his desire for his subject paralyzed his artistic capacities.

520 $a This dissertation concerns the ways in which the writing of Paul Cezanne's biography intersected with the interpretation of his paintings of the nude. The strange intensity and deformed anatomies of Cezanne's images of male and female bathers were so puzzling to his contemporaries that they could only be explained, it seemed, by the eccentricities of their maker. Thanks to Emile Zola's description of "artistic impotence" in L'Oeuvr and Emile Bernard's early writings on the artist, stories of Cezanne's sexual anxieties and his excessive passion for and fear of women were used to justify his approach to image-making, suggesting that as a result Cezanne could not work from the live model because his desire for his subject paralyzed his artistic capacities.
520 $a The interpretive strategy, which arose in the artist's day, of linking Cezanne's nudes to his sexual hang-ups has been taken up by current scholarship. Missing, however, is an examination of what purpose such an interpretation served. Cezanne was being positioned as "the father of modern art" at the very time that his bathers were being read as the measure of his sexual anxieties, and by the very same writers responsible for this reading. What need could possibly be fulfilled by depicting him as an impotent genius, as a man paralyzed by his repressed desires for and fears of women?
520 $a The stories of Cezannels anxieties were prompted by the critics, own anxieties, provoked by the artist's radical reconception of the means by which the erotic was communicated in representation. No longer signified by beautiful women and idealized anatomies, or cloaked in the objective-seeming subject positions of the disinterested artist or viewer, the erotic was seen by Cezanne's contemporaries to be located everywhere in his painting, manifest in the very quality of paint on the canvas. The fiction of the objective artist, interested only in the aesthetics of form, could not be sustained when looking at Cezanne's canvases. If Cezanne was, in formalist discourse, turned into such a fiction, it was only through struggle, a struggle in which biography came to play a crucial role.
