Praeterita

This is a test for a feature that Google has recently added to Blogger (the software behind this blog). Previously when you wanted to include a video, you either had to upload it into the blog post, or cut and paste a link or some HTML from YouTube. Now you can search YouTube, display the video thumbnails, play one to see whether you want it, then click 'Select' and the video clip is posted directly in. So I searched on 'Cezanne', and came up with this clip of the great abstract artist Brice Marden talking about the daddy of all twentieth century art.   Subscribe to Praeterita in a reader

Six drawings of the Malecon, Havana, Cuba, 2001 (click on image to embiggen) "Drawing and colour are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you draw. The more the colour harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes."---Paul Cezanne.   Subscribe to Praeterita in a reader
