More quotes by Paul Cezanne
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
We live in a rainbow of chaos.
Paul Cezanne
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
Paul Cezanne
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
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
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
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
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
One had to immerse oneself in one's surroundings and intensely study nature or one's subject to understand how to recreate it.
Paul Cezanne
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
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
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
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
You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
Paul Cezanne
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
