More quotes by Paul Cezanne
Fruits ... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen.
Paul Cezanne
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
Paul Cezanne
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Paul Cezanne
Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish.
Paul Cezanne
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
Paul Cezanne
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
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
The contour eludes me.
Paul Cezanne
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Paul Cezanne
Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.
Paul Cezanne
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
With a painter's temperament, all that's needed are the means of expression sufficient to be intelligible to the wide public.
Paul Cezanne
