Paul Cezanne
Image
It's not just about looking and copying, it's about feeling too
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Image
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.
Paul Cezanne
Image
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
