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.

More quotes by Paul Cezanne
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Paul Cezanne
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
The Louvre is a good book to consult, but it must only be an intermediary. The real and immense study that must be taken up is the manifold picture of nature.
Paul Cezanne
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
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
Paul Cezanne
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
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
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
Perhaps I was born too early. I was more the painter of your generation than of mine.
Paul Cezanne
The approbation of others is a stimulus of which one must sometimes be wary. The feeling of one's own strength makes one modest.
Paul Cezanne
I cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
The strong experience of nature... is the necessary basis for all conception of art on which rests the grandeur and beauty of all future work.
Paul Cezanne
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
I have not tried to reproduce nature I have represented it.
Paul Cezanne
