More quotes by Paul Cezanne
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne
It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
Paul Cezanne
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
The contour eludes me.
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
Art first of all is optical. That's where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
Paul Cezanne
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
Paul Cezanne
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Paul Cezanne
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
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
I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
Paul Cezanne
The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Paul Cezanne
The painter must enclose himself within his work he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
Paul Cezanne
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
