Quote

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

Image
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Image
We live in a rainbow of chaos.
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
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
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
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
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
One can do good things without being very much of a harmonist or a colourist. It is sufficient to have a sense of art - and this sense is doubtless the horror of the bourgeois.
Paul Cezanne
Image
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
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
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
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Image
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
