Mont Sainte-Victoire

Suzanne was a key touch point.

And I think his images of Mont Saint-Victoire are interesting in terms of their religious undertones.

And she made, during this period, very detailed paintings.

So she was still painting in the manner that she had been taught at the Slade, which is a kind of old master technique of applying fluid oil layers.

not just the Centauri's pictures, but also her paintings that she made in the 1920s of the model in her studio in Meudon, where she's really, I think these are geometric experiments where she is just interested in the relation of forms to one another.

But still working very much within the figurative world.

It's a similar thing to, I keep talking about Cézanne, but like how his Mont Saint-Victoire is both a mountain in France and also a pyramidal form.

So it's an abstract triangle.
