Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image
It is necessary to introduce light vibrations, represented by reds and yellows, and a sufficient amount of blues, to obtain an airy feeling.
Paul Cezanne
Image
There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.
Paul Cezanne
Image
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
Image
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
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
