Paul Cezanne Quotes

"Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations."

"Right now a moment is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate. give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time."

"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."

"The awareness of our own strength makes us modest."

"We live in a rainbow of chaos."

"For an impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations"
