More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
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
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
One had to immerse oneself in one's surroundings and intensely study nature or one's subject to understand how to recreate it.
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
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
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
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
Image
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Art first of all is optical. That's where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
