Understanding Cézanne: Planes, Faceting, and Axial Logic

To read Cézanne, look for planes and axes.

• Faceting breaks mass into readable parts.
• Axes shift, creating tension.
• Edges toggle between hard/soft.

Structure is a feeling as much as a geometry.

🔧 Analysis Steps

1. Identify primary axes.
2. Mark faceted planes.
3. Compare edge treatment per zone.
