It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image

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
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
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
