More quotes by 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
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
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
The Louvre is a good book to consult, but it must only be an intermediary. The real and immense study that must be taken up is the manifold picture of nature.
Paul Cezanne
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
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
Drawing and color are not separate at all in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also
Paul Cezanne
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
Paul Cezanne
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
Paul Cezanne
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
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The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.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
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
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
