The Power Institute's regular reading group, focusing on new ideas and research in art history and visual culture.

Paul Cézanne, The Pool at Jas de Bouffan, ca. 1885–86

"Space is not distance, says Pissarro, not a journey to a horizon: it is here where we are, an immense proximity, a total intuition of place and extent. And Time is not becoming, not endless contingency: it is a Now that goes on being Now as we live it, a unique kind of permanence, one we know we have only for an instant but which is not for that reason experienced as fleeting, or even transitory. Every instant deserves to be monumentalized. It is not a 'moment' fizzing by."
