Paul Cezanne
Image
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
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
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
