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.

More quotes by Paul Cezanne
Yes, a bunch of carrots, observed directly, painted simply in the personal way one sees it, worth more than the Ecole's everlasting slices of buttered bread, that tobacco-juice painting, slavishly done by the book? The day is coming when a single original carrot will give birth to a revolution.
Paul Cezanne
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
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
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
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
The contour eludes me.
Paul Cezanne
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
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
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
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
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
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
