We live in a rainbow of chaos.
Paul Cezanne
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
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
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
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Paul Cezanne
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
Paul Cezanne
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
Paul Cezanne
Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.
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
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
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
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
Paul Cezanne
