For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

Paul Cezanne

PAUL CEZANNE
Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones.
PAUL CEZANNE

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
PAUL CEZANNE
