who needs deleuze?

"By breaking with the Barbizon school, Manet discovered a deeper affinity 
with Goya and Velasquez; by breaking with the impressionnists, Cézanne 
discovered a deeper affinity with Chardin and Masaccio.  The possession of 
originality cannot make an artist unconventional; *it drives him further 
into convention*, obeying the law of the art itself, which seeks constantly 
to reshape itself from its own depths, and which works through its geniuses 
for metamorphosis, as it works through minor talents for mutation."
