PAUL CEZANNE'S MONT SAINTE-VICTOIRE AND THE VIADUCT OF THE ARC RIVER VALLEY AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE APPLICATION OF DECONSTRUCTIVE PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF PAINTING

Deconstructive analysis is a reading approach applicable to any human-made institution, text, or artwork, including the established thought that constitutes it. However, the deconstructive approach is ultimately an analysis, and this analysis is not merely a process of dismantling and inventorying the dismantled structure under consideration. Nor is it a process of constructing or establishing a new or different structure from the dismantled parts. The deconstructive approach to reading structure is an analytical, discriminatory reading and comprehension strategy focused solely on identifying and demonstrating the arbitrariness, and therefore groundlessness, conventionality, and thus infinite nature, of the dominant and established logic of thought, which Post-Structuralist philosopher Jacques Derrida considered to be at the center of Western philosophy and constitute a widespread and fundamental tradition. In this study, a well-known work from art history is taken as an example, based on the assumption that a painting—a work of art that has not previously existed in the world of existence, having come into being entirely based on the artist's creative thought—is already created through detachability, given that it is a structure established by the artist's established thought and arbitrary decision. The study uses the example of Cezanne to illuminate the problematic of this work by identifying and analyzing the artist's artistic career, whereby artistic thought is subject to specific conditions and does not persist indefinitely. This example, chosen through an examination of the artist's artistic career, corresponds to a period of the artist's specific conditions, his Proto-Cubist phase
