More quotes by Paul Cezanne
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
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
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
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
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
Paul Cezanne
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
The approbation of others is a stimulus of which one must sometimes be wary. The feeling of one's own strength makes one modest.
Paul Cezanne
You say a new era in art is preparing you sensed it coming continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.
Paul Cezanne
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
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
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
