More quotes by Paul Cezanne
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms and the progress needed is incessant.
Paul Cezanne
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Paul Cezanne
The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.
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
The painter must enclose himself within his work he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
Paul Cezanne
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
Paul Cezanne
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.
Paul Cezanne
The Louvre is a good book to consult, but it must only be an intermediary. The real and immense study that must be taken up is the manifold picture of nature.
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 am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
