More quotes by Paul Cezanne
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
There is no model, there is only color.
Paul Cezanne
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Drawing and color are not separate at all in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also
Paul Cezanne
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
Paul Cezanne
The contour eludes me.
Paul Cezanne
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
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
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
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
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
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
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
