Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
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.

It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne
Image
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.

Paul Cezanne
Image
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
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
I want to die painting.
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
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
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
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is no model, there is only color.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
