More quotes by Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
The contour eludes me.
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
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
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
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.
Paul Cezanne
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms and the progress needed is incessant.
Paul Cezanne
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
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
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Paul Cezanne
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
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
