My nervous system is enfeebled, only work in oils can sustain me.
From Paul Cezanne
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.
Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.
Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.
I want to die painting.
Two sittings a day of my models and I'm totally exhausted.
A puny body weakens the soul.
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
