The necessary support for a late bloomer's success
The success of the late bloomer is highly dependent on the efforts of others.

- Writer Émile Zola convinced the awkward Cézanne to come to Paris and served as his guardian, protector, and coach through the long, lean years.
- Camille Pissarro was the next person who took Cézanne under his wing and taught him how to be a painter.
- Then Ambrose Vollard sponsored Cézanne's first one-man show, at the age of fifty-six.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
