I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
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
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
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

One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The strong experience of nature... is the necessary basis for all conception of art on which rests the grandeur and beauty of all future work.
Paul Cezanne

You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
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
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
Image
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
