Image
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
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
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
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 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
There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.
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
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
