PAUL CEZANNEDon’t be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
PAUL CEZANNEThe sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
PAUL CEZANNEYou say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.
PAUL CEZANNEIt is not about painting life, it is about making the painting alive.
PAUL CEZANNEYou must think. The eye is not enough; it needs to think as well.
PAUL CEZANNEThe landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.
PAUL CEZANNEArt is a harmony parallel with nature.
PAUL CEZANNEWhen the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.
PAUL CEZANNEI could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.
PAUL CEZANNEIt is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.
PAUL CEZANNEI ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
PAUL CEZANNEEverything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
PAUL CEZANNEIt’s not just about looking and copying, it’s about feeling too.
PAUL CEZANNEGenius is the ability to renew one’s emotions in daily experience.
PAUL CEZANNEIf isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling-block of the uncertain.
PAUL CEZANNEWhat I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.
