%X This study aimed at the transformative artistic
approach of the renowned French painter Paul C¨¦zanne during his later years,
emphasizing a departure from conventional cognitive conventions in painting.
C¨¦zanne¡¯s shift towards highl<span>ighting the
structuring of visual impressions over mere obser</span>vation aligns wit<span>h the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty¡¯s
phenomenology, wh</span>ich places th<span>e
embodied subject at the core of perceptual experience. The arg</span>ument
presented here centres on how embodied subjectivity, as employed in
phenomenological research methods, facilitates a deeper understanding of the
imaginative abstraction in C¨¦zanne¡¯s late paintings. In doing so, this paper
contributes to a deeper comprehension of post-impressionist art and underscores
the significance of the theory of embodied subjectivity in artistic
interpretation. This reciprocal relationship establishes a distinctive approach
to artistic thi<span>nking and research grounded in
essential cognition and direct int</span>uition, enriching the understanding of
C¨¦zanne¡¯s late paintings, and advancing the discourse on art perception.
