Citáty Paul Cézanne
„Když hodnotím umění, vezmu svůj obraz a postavím ho vedle zpředmětněného Boha, jako je strom nebo květina. Tluče-li se, není to umění.“

„… ví se někdy v umění, kdo je blázen?“

„Realismus je moje metoda, můj zákoník… Ale realismus, rozumějte mi správně, plný vznešenosti, bezděčný. Heroismus skutečna.“

„Jsem jen ubohý malíř a štětec je výrazovým prostředkem, který nebe vložilo do mých rukou. Vytváření a rozvíjení teoretických názorů není mým úkolem.“

„Art has a harmony which parallels that of nature. The people who tell you that the artist is always inferior to nature are idiots! He is parallel to it. Unless, of course, he deliberately intervenes. His whole aim must be silence. He must silence all the voices of prejudice within him, he must forget... And then the entire landscape will engrave itself on the sensitive plate of his being.“
p. 150, in: 'What he told me – I. The motif'
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„He (the painter Manet) hits of the tone.... but his work lacks unity and temperament too.“
ca. 1863

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, 1860s - 1870s
„Alas! The memories that are swallowed up in the abyss of the years! I'm all alone now and I would never be able to escape from the self-seeking of human kind anyway. Now it's theft, conceit, infatuation, and now it's rapine or seizure of one's production. But Nature is very beautiful. They can't take that away from me.“
in the last conversation Vollard had with Cezanne
Quote in a conversation in Cezanne's studio in Aix, End of 1905; as quoted in Cézanne, Ambroise Vollard, Dover publications Inc. New York, 1984, p. 112
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„Painting from nature is not copying the object, it is realizing sensations.“
p. 46, in: 'What I know or have seen of his life'
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„You must forgive me for continually coming back to the same thing; but I believe in the logical development of everything we see and feel through the study of nature and turn my attention to technical questions later.“
Quote of 1906 from a letter; cited in Paul Cézanne, Letters ed. John Rewald, New York, Da Capro Press, 1995, p. 313
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„And art puts us, I believe, in a state of grace in which we experience a universal emotion in an, as it were, religious but in the same time perfectly natural way. General harmony, such as we find in colour, is located all around us.“
p. 151, in: 'What he told me – I. The motif'
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„.. in my ideal of a good painting; there's unity. The drawing and the colour are no longer distinct; as soon as you paint you draw; the more the colours harmonize, the more precise the drawing becomes. I know that from experience. When the colour is at its richest, the form is at its fullest.“
p. 221 in: 'What he told me – III. The Studio'
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„I work obstinately, and once in a while I catch a glimpse of the Promised Land. Am I to be like the great leader of the Hebrews, or will I really attain unto it?.. I have a large studio in the country. I can work better there than in the city. I have made some progress. Oh, why so late and so painful? Must art indeed be a priesthood, demanding that the faithful be bound to it body and soul?“
Quote from Cézanne's letter to Vollard - Aix, 9 January, 1903; as quoted in Cezanne, by Ambroise Vollard, Dover publications Inc. New York, 1984, p. 103
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900
„I've ripped it to pieces; your portrait, you know. I tried to work on it this morning, but it went from bad to worse, so I destroyed it..“
Quote of Cezanne, from his letter to Emile Zola, ca 1861; as quoted in Cezanne, by Ambroise Vollard, Dover publications Inc. New York, 1984, p. 23
Quotes of Paul Cezanne, 1860s - 1870s
„Treat nature in terms of the cylinder, the sphere, and the cone, the whole put into perspective so that each side of an object, or of a plane, leads towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth, whether a sections of nature, or, if you prefer, of the spectacle which Pater omnipotens aeterne Deus unfolds before your eyes. Lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth... Everything I am telling you [ Joachim Gasquet ] about - the sphere, the cone, cylinder, concave shadow – on mornings when I'm tired these notions of mine get me going, they stimulate me, I soon forget them once I start using my eyes.“
