Quote

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.

More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
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
Image
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Drawing and color are not separate at all in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also
Paul Cezanne
Image
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms and the progress needed is incessant.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
There is no model, there is only color.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
