Image
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Yes, a bunch of carrots, observed directly, painted simply in the personal way one sees it, worth more than the Ecole's everlasting slices of buttered bread, that tobacco-juice painting, slavishly done by the book? The day is coming when a single original carrot will give birth to a revolution.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The approbation of others is a stimulus of which one must sometimes be wary. The feeling of one's own strength makes one modest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
Image
One can do good things without being very much of a harmonist or a colourist. It is sufficient to have a sense of art - and this sense is doubtless the horror of the bourgeois.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything vanishes, falls apart, doesn't it? Nature is always the same but nothing in her that appears to us lasts. Our art must render the thrill of her permanence, along with her elements, the appearance of all her changes. It must give us a taste of her Eternity.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You have no idea how life-giving it is to find around one a youth that agrees not to bury one on the spot.
Paul Cezanne
