All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.
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
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The Louvre is a good book to consult, but it must only be an intermediary. The real and immense study that must be taken up is the manifold picture of nature.
