"But for Zola, Cezanne would have remained an unhappy banker's son in Provence; but for Pissarro, he would never have learned how to paint; but for Vollard, his canvases would have rotted away in some attic; and, but for his father, Cezanne's long apprentice-ship would have been a financial impossibility... Cezanne didn't just have help. He has a dream team in his corner."
Dear Phil - I found this passage in an essay from Malcolm Gladwell's book, 'What The Dog Saw'. Thanks for kicking off my dream team! Lots of Love Mr. Cellophane
