Portrait of Madame Cézanne[edit]

(

)

... that Roy Lichtenstein's Portrait of Madame Cézanne quoted Erle Loran's diagram of Paul Cézanne's work by the same name (pictured) because it did not even make sense to Cézanne himself?

Comment: the diagram could not have failed to make sense to Cezanne, since Loran's diagram follows Cezanne's death by 40 years or so. Riggr Mortis (talk) 00:09, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I am quoting a WP:RS. I don't know what to say.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I believe Cezanne is quoted talking about his own conception of the "outline" of his painting; not about a diagrammatic "outline" by an art historian analyzing his work decades later. The hook could be the following:

(ALT1)... "that Roy Lichtenstein's Portrait of Madame Cézanne is an ironic quotation of the art historian Erle Loran's outline of the original Cézanne portrait (pictured)?" Riggr Mortis (talk) 05:12, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

That is fine by me.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:41, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Needs a full review now that the hook discussion is done. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
