Paul Cézanne once said: “You have to hurry if you want to see something, everything disappears…”

He is addressing impermanence – much, almost everything, is impermanent. Our life is fleeting. But what remains is the art. It is passed on, both in physical form as a work of art and in our genes. Several scientific studies show that creativity is inherited. In this respect impermanence is not absolute.
