Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
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
Image
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
Image

Paul Cezanne

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
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
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
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
