"Cezanne made a living thing out of a teacup, or
rather in a teacup he realized the existence of
something alive. He raised still life to such a
point that it ceased to be inanimate. He painted
these things as he painted human beings, because
he was endowed with the gift of divining the
inner life in everything. Wassily Kandinsky
(1866-1944)
