More quotes by Paul Cezanne
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
Paul Cezanne
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
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
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
One had to immerse oneself in one's surroundings and intensely study nature or one's subject to understand how to recreate it.
Paul Cezanne
Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate...Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.
Paul Cezanne
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
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
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.
Paul Cezanne
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
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
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
The approbation of others is a stimulus of which one must sometimes be wary. The feeling of one's own strength makes one modest.
Paul Cezanne
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
Art first of all is optical. That's where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
Paul Cezanne
