Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish.

Paul Cezanne

PAUL CEZANNE

Lost Myself One Liner Think
Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
PAUL CEZANNE

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
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.
