More quotes by Paul Cezanne

Image
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.
Paul Cezanne
Image
To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
Image
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
Paul Cezanne
Image
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
Image
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
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
One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms and the progress needed is incessant.
Paul Cezanne
Image
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
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
Image
Pure drawing is an abstraction.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne
