More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
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
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
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
If I think, everything is lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am a pupil of Pissarro.
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

Paul Cezanne

If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
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
It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne
Image
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
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
You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
Paul Cezanne
