A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
~ Paul Cézanne
Art is a harmony parallel with nature
To my mind, one does not put oneself in place of the past, one only adds a new link.
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.
We live in a rainbow of chaos.
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion.
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 truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.
Art is a harmony parallel with nature.
With an apple I will astonish Paris.
