Paul Cezanne
Image
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
