‘But the block-like shapes in Cézanne's pictures, such as the portraits of his patron Victor Chocquet (c.1877[ce];* Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, Columbus, Ohio) and of his mistress that he painted in 1877[ce] suggests that for him the relationship between the colour patches on his canvas were of equal importance. In the years that followed, he systematised his technique into patterns of parallel brushstrokes that gave a new significance to the pictorial surface. An unassuming series of still lifes and self-portraits by Cézanne painted in 1870-80[ce],** which, when they became known, impressed his contemporaries profoundly and were clearly as monumental as the great art of the past had been, yet in a subtly different way that was inherent in the actual manner of painting.***
