We must not be content to memorize the beautiful formulas of our illustrious predecessors. Let us go out and study beautiful nature.
From Paul Cezanne
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Art is a harmony parallel with nature.
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones.
The artist makes things concrete and gives them individuality.
You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.
