the universe meet." As noted by Giuseppe Di Giacomo in the editorial work<br />

"Arte e modernità" (2016), colors don't aim to faithfully imitate nature's hues,<br />

but rather generate their own materiality and structure. (2)<br />

For Cézanne, who, as mentioned, diverged from the Impressionists, his nature<br />

isn't illuminated by reflections born from chromatic modulation, but<br />

rather nature itself emits light, thus expressing solidity. (3)<br />

Di Giacomo further explains that with his representation of the Montagne<br />

Sainte-Victoire, Cézanne establishes a connection with the object, offering<br />

the spectator the same opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the depicted<br />

mountain. Cézanne portrayed Sainte-Victoire many times without<br />

ever succeeding in providing a single, definitive image of it. (4)<br />

Everything Cézanne experimented with is indeed discernible in Albert Enz's<br />

paintings, particularly in the landscape works depicting mountains and<br />

coastlines. Unlike Cézanne, who offered multiple visions of Sainte-Victoire,<br />

Enz has actually presented numerous mountains and coastlines, thus creating<br />

a collection of world fragments that appear similar, demonstrating the<br />

universality of nature and the human-nature relationship.<br />
