More quotes by Paul Cezanne
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
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
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
Paul Cezanne
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
Paul Cezanne
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
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
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
The painter must enclose himself within his work he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
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
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
Paul Cezanne
I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration.
Paul Cezanne
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish.
Paul Cezanne
Art first of all is optical. That's where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
Paul Cezanne
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
