Image
I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Fruits ... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
With a painter's temperament, all that's needed are the means of expression sufficient to be intelligible to the wide public.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Image
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
Image
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Image
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
Paul Cezanne
