More quotes by Paul Cezanne
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
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Paul Cezanne
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
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
The contour eludes me.
Paul Cezanne
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
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
If I think, I am lost.
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
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
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
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
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
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
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
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
