diary / by Edward Mullany

I chose the works of Cézanne as an example, but mainly because Cézanne is a recognizable name, and his paintings easy to call to mind, because they are old enough and well-regarded enough that they belong to the Western canon. I could have chosen any number of artists whose works are not explicitly religious but who render the things of nature with such style or duende that their audiences become aware of a spiritual meaning in them.
