More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Yes, a bunch of carrots, observed directly, painted simply in the personal way one sees it, worth more than the Ecole's everlasting slices of buttered bread, that tobacco-juice painting, slavishly done by the book? The day is coming when a single original carrot will give birth to a revolution.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is no model, there is only color.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
The painter must enclose himself within his work he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything vanishes, falls apart, doesn't it? Nature is always the same but nothing in her that appears to us lasts. Our art must render the thrill of her permanence, along with her elements, the appearance of all her changes. It must give us a taste of her Eternity.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one's own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You have no idea how life-giving it is to find around one a youth that agrees not to bury one on the spot.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
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
Image
It is necessary to introduce light vibrations, represented by reds and yellows, and a sufficient amount of blues, to obtain an airy feeling.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
