Abstract
Thanks very much for your long letter, which I read with great interest. This question of creativity is certainly a difficult one to be clear about. I am glad that it is now one of your main interests, as otherwise, there would be very little chance of your ever learning much about it. And it is, in my view, the key question, not only in science and art, but also, in the whole of life. But we shall have to come to this fact by stages.

This quote does not appear in Biederman’s book on Cezanne, Biederman (1958), or in the published Bohm-Biederman correspondence, Pylkkänen (1999). However, as noted in the Introduction, the latter are only a small part of the Bohm-Biederman correspondence where Cezanne’s views are often discussed, so it may appear there—CT.
