Riassunto

Le risposte di preghiera di Rilke alle suppliche dell'arte del maestro francese Per molto tempo niente, e poi all'improvviso si hanno gli occhi giusti. Praticamente ogni giorno nell'autunno del 1907, Rainer Maria Rilke tornava in una galleria di Parigi per vedere una mostra di Cézanne. Quasi con la stessa frequenza, scriveva lettere dense e gioiose alla moglie, Clara Westhoff, esprimendo il suo sgomento di fronte ai dipinti e le sue conseguenti rivelazioni sull'arte e sulla vita. Rilke era un esperto d'arte e aveva persino pubblicato monografie, tra cui un famoso studio su Rodin che ispirò le sue Nuove poesie. Ma l'impatto di Cézanne su di lui non poteva essere trasmesso in un saggio tradizionale. Il senso di parentela di Rilke con Cézanne fornisce una potente e lungimirante corrente sotterranea in queste lettere: alcuni passaggi di esse appaiono letteralmente nel grande romanzo modernista di Rilke, I quaderni di Malte Laurids Brigge. Lettere su Cezanne è una raccolta di risposte significativamente private a un'arte radicalmente nuova.

Letters On Cezanne

HÔTEL DU QUAI VOLTAIRE, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1907

... seeing and working--how different they are here. Everywhere else you see, and think: later--. Here they're almost one and the same. You're back again:1 that's not strange, not remarkable, not striking; it's not even a celebration; for a celebration would already be an interruption. But this here takes you and goes further with you and goes with you to everything and right through everything, through small things and great. Everything that was rearranges itself, lines up in formation, as if someone were standing there giving orders; and whatever is present is utterly and urgently present, as if prostrate on its knees and praying for you ...
