More quotes by 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
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All the theories mess you up inside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne
Image
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You have no idea how life-giving it is to find around one a youth that agrees not to bury one on the spot.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
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
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
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
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
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
