 * ... that Roy Lichtenstein's Portrait of Madame Cézanne quoted Erle Loran's diagram of Paul Cézanne's work by the same name (pictured) because it did not even make sense to Cézanne himself?

 * Comment: the diagram could not have failed to make sense to Cezanne, since Loran's diagram follows Cezanne's death by 40 years or so. Riggr Mortis (talk) 00:09, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I believe Cezanne is quoted talking about his own conception of the "outline" of his painting; not about a diagrammatic "outline" by an art historian analyzing his work decades later. The hook could be the following:
 * (ALT1)... "that Roy Lichtenstein's Portrait of Madame Cézanne is an ironic quotation of the art historian Erle Loran's outline of the original Cézanne portrait (pictured)?" Riggr Mortis (talk) 05:12, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That is fine by me.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:41, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
