More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one's own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
Image
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The painter must enclose himself within his work he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Fruits ... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I wish to die painting.
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
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
