Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.Paul Cezanne
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
For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.Paul Cezanne
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.Paul Cezanne
Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.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
