This paper examines the nonhumanity in Paul Cézanne’s late landscapes of ruins through the tradition of the picturesque and the aesthetics of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The motifs of an abandoned quarry and ruins have been considered as projections of his subjective solitude. However, the analysis of the arrangements and affective interrelations in his paintings reveals the collective character consisting of nonhuman beings. The affect in Cezanne’s ruin paintings can be described as an abstract yet lively incorporation of the natural and the artificial as well as the animate and the inanimate.
