Customer Review: It’s Real
I had an original copy of this book 30 years ago, when it first came out (I think it was in 1977 or 1978) - at the time, I was living in Berkley, California and read about 1/3 of the book and put it down. I liked it then but lost interest. However, I decided, for my own reasons, to read it again, and bought a copy less than a month ago and am almost done and I have to say that I believe this book is really a channelled view of what Paul Cezanne thought about while he painted. I think it’s fair to say that Cezanne, himself, might not have talked nearly as much about his work as what’s in the book - but the book is not Cezanne talking - it’s his World View of paintings - and Jane Roberts, though some curious circumstance - happened to channel that World View. I myself, as an artist who knows a lot about Paul Cezanne - am struck by the subtle insights that could not possibly have come from Jane Roberts. But did it come from Paul Cezanne? In a sense, Yes. We can’t really evaluate a book like this in the normal way - you have to pick it up and make sense of it yourself. I for one, do recommend this book to artists interested in what Cezanne was actually thinking while he painted. I’ll be in Aix in a couple of days and will visit Paul Cezanne’s studio and hopefully, what I read in this book will complement my trip. [...]
Customer Review: “Rambunctious Creativity”
This remarkable little book was written in 1976, before Jane’s physical challenges fully manifested. It shows a life lived to the fullest, and raises questions about what creativity is, where inspiration comes from, and what we leave behind when our “earth lives” are finished. The “Cezanne” material, “dictated” to Jane, is must reading for visual artists and for anyone interested in painting. It’s especially significant as Jane had absolutely no background in art, although she was married to a painter. Where did this material come from? Did Jane make it all up? How could she? What is creativity? Is she “channeling” the “real” Cezanne? What does that mean? Really, quite an extraordinary read.

This book is an exploration of ideas within the context of culture history. It involves an ideational reversal of the usual relationship existing between psychotherapists and artists. Instead of approaching the phenomenon of art from within a scientific frame of reference, psychotherapy is approached from within an aesthetic frame of reference. This unorthodox procedure proves to be productive in generating novel perspectives and new meanings in what are seen to be the twin phenomena of modern art and psychotherapy. Freud and Cezanne were key figures among those instrumental in the transformation of nineteenth century Western consciousness into twentieth century consciousness. Their influence continues unabated as we move into a new century. There are continuing radical implications in their thought that have yet to be fully realized.

This poster is of Paul Cezanne’s Basket of Apples. This still life shows a basket full of apples, and more apples loose on the table. Also on the table is a plate of bread, a bottle and a white tablecloth. This poster measures approx. 24″ x 36″ Paul Cezanne (January 19, 1839 - October 22, 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter who laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century (Impressionism) to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century (cubism). Cezanne’s explorations of geometric simplification and optical phenomena inspired Picasso, Braque, Gris and others to experiment with ever more complex multiple views of the same subject
