Image
What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.
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
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Art first of all is optical. That's where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
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
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
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
There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything vanishes, falls apart, doesn't it? Nature is always the same but nothing in her that appears to us lasts. Our art must render the thrill of her permanence, along with her elements, the appearance of all her changes. It must give us a taste of her Eternity.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
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
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
