Long live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.
PAUL CEZANNELong live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.
PAUL CEZANNEThe day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.
PAUL CEZANNEArt first of all is optical. That’s where the material of our art is: in what our eyes think.
PAUL CEZANNEPainting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one’s sensations.
PAUL CEZANNEIt is not about painting life, it is about making the painting alive.
PAUL CEZANNEAll pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
PAUL CEZANNEThe painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
PAUL CEZANNEIf isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling-block of the uncertain.
PAUL CEZANNEThe landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture…we merge in an iridescent chaos.
PAUL CEZANNEThere 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 CEZANNEWhen the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
PAUL CEZANNEYou must think. The eye is not enough; it needs to think as well.
PAUL CEZANNETime and reflection change the sight little by little ’till we come to understand.
PAUL CEZANNEDoubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.
PAUL CEZANNEEverything is about to disappear. You’ve got to hurry up if you still want to see things.
PAUL CEZANNEI have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools… I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing.
