Cezanne Quotes: Sketch 2

The second quote I chose was, "The contour eludes me."  This sketch is a little more abstract than the first in comparison to the quote.  After thinking a bit about what could be used to represent this quote, I thought what better than the NYC Skyline.  The reason for this is because when we view the skyline, the contour does in fact elude our eye.  When looking straight across the river it is hard for one to tell where the edge of one building ends and where the next begins, and for this reason, we have trouble making out the contour of each building.  On the other hand, when the sides of the buildings seemingly "blend" together into one object, it creates a new contour, which is known as the famous New York City Skyline.
