To compare the educational philosopher Fr.Frobel (1782-1852) with the painter P.Césanne (1839-1906) may seem as unexpectedly presenting something new. But, while at first sight, the two seem to have nothing in common, in fact a very important simalarity between the ideas of both men can be discovered. They have in common that both recognize as a norm the original form of 'nature' and tried to express it as something meaningful through human life. The way of expressing was different, 'art' on the one hand and 'education' on the other; for Césanne the goal of expression was 'painting', for Frobel the expression and the interpretation of nature was the task of 'education', it may be said. In this paper the author examines the similarity of the thinking of both men focusing on their expression and interpretation of nature including an investigation of the origin of the ressmblance of their ideas.
