Paul Cezanne
Image
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
