Paul Cezanne
Image
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image
I advance all of my canvas at one time.

Paul Cezanne
Image
We live in a rainbow of chaos.
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

Paul Cezanne
Image
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The strong experience of nature... is the necessary basis for all conception of art on which rests the grandeur and beauty of all future work.
Paul Cezanne
Image
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne
