Visual Perception.

[Beanz]

Cezanne is not really about perspective. His genius is to allow viewers to disentangle themselves from the idea that painting is in any way truly representative. It is always someone else's perception from a particular viewpoint but in allowing his own feelings and ability to acknowledge the futility of photorealism he shows the viewer an impression that is uniquely his, including his emotional state in that rendering. Less really is more and there is far more truth in that painting than any photographer could ever hope to capture.

Acuity is about sharpness. That hunt for an edge has led to the lenses and sensors of today which many people find too cutting and not like how we see the world at all. What you focus on is very much governed by time and your own preconceptions but physics will never reveal that bias because it is uniquely individual. It is a big part of what makes us human.

We interpret signs and attribute meaning to everything. To think that 'natural science' could explain that is ludicrous.

As I've said before, this is an enquiry into visual geometry and the difference between visual and physical geometry.

Cezanne's painting is there because it is presented under forced perspective, which was what my previous post was about. As stated by Wikipedia:



I'm not sure why you are bring up natural science in this thread unless you have practical demonstrations and practical reference points in this reality for me.

Visual geometry is different from physical geometry, e.g. railway tracks appear to converge at a vanishing point. The physical geometry is that parallel lines never intersect. The railway tracks only appear to be coming together, the reality is they are always the same distance apart.

Have a great New Year Beanz, all the best to you and your family.

visual geometry depends on eyeballs, optic nerves, rods, cones -- all physical geometries of their OWN. If I visually/physically observe an eye operation by a surgeon, I will visually perceive the eyeball, optic nerve, rods and cones --- they will seem to have their own physical geometry according to the visual geometry of my OWN eyeballs, optic nerves, rods and cones. It is a concentric circle of increasing intrigue.
