An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
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
What is one to think of those fools who tell one that the artist is always subordinate to nature? Art is a harmony parallel with nature.
Paul Cezanne
