PAUL CEZANNEGet to the heart of what is before you and continue to express yourself as logically as possible.
PAUL CEZANNEI’ll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
PAUL CEZANNEWe must not be content to memorize the beautiful formulas of our illustrious predecessors. Let us go out and study beautiful nature.
PAUL CEZANNEThe painter unfolds that which has not been seen.
PAUL CEZANNEIt’s so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
PAUL CEZANNEI cannot attain the intensity that is unfolded before my senses. I have not the magnificent richness of colouring that animates nature.
PAUL CEZANNEThe landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.
PAUL CEZANNEThere are two things in the painter, the eye and the mind; each of them should aid the other.
PAUL CEZANNEWith an apple I will astonish Paris.
PAUL CEZANNEEverything 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 CEZANNEThere is no such thing as an amateur artist as different from a professional artist. There is only good art and bad art.
PAUL CEZANNEI’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really possible to help others.
PAUL CEZANNEOptics, developing in us through study, teach us to see.
PAUL CEZANNEMonet is only an eye, but my God, what an eye!
PAUL CEZANNEYou must think. The eye is not enough; it needs to think as well.
PAUL CEZANNEPainting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one’s sensations.
