More quotes by Paul Cezanne
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
Paul Cezanne
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
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 paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
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
Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one's own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles.
Paul Cezanne
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
Paul Cezanne
I wish to die painting.
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
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
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
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
