More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
Image
What is one to think of those fools who tell one that the artist is always subordinate to nature? Art is a harmony parallel with nature.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration.
Paul Cezanne
Image
What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
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
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
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
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The contour eludes me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
Paul Cezanne
