“Hay que tratar a la naturaleza a través del cilindro, la esfera, el cono, estableciendo una perspectiva global, de modo que cada lado de un objeto, de un plano, se dirija hacia un punto central.”

Paul Cézanne

Cezanne a Émile Bernard, amigo de Gauguin, 1904.
Citado por Bernard en Paul Cézanne (1925)
Variante: «Tratar (de ver) la naturaleza como cilíndros, esferas, conos, todo en perspectiva [...]. Para nostros, hombres, la naturaleza reside más en la profundidad que en el plano».

“El pintor tiene que dedicarse por entero al estudio de la naturaleza y procurar hacer cuadros que sean una enseñanza. Las charlas sobre arte son casi inútiles. El trabajo que logra un progreso en su propio oficio es una compensación suficiente para que no lo comprendan los imbéciles.”

“El Museo del Louvre es el libro en que aprendemos a leer. Pero salgamos de allí para estudiar la bella naturaleza, tratemos de extraer su espíritu, intentemos expresarnos siguiendo nuestro temperamento personal. El tiempo y la reflexión, por otra parte, modifican poco a poco la visión, y finalmente nos llega la comprensión.”

“El literato se expresa mediante abstracciones, mientras que el pintor concreta, a base del dibujo y el color, sus sensaciones y sus percepciones.”

Paul Cézanne

“Dos cosas tiene el pintor: vista y cerebro, ambas deben ayudarse entre sí: hay que procurar que se desarrollen mutuamente; la vista a través de la visión al natural, el cerebro a través de la lógica de las sensaciones organizadas, que da los medios de expresión.”

“Cuando delineo la piel de un hermoso melocotón con suaves toques de pintura o una triste manzana vieja, vislumbro en los reflejos que intercambian la misma suave sombra de renuncia, el mismo amor al sol, el mismo recuerdo. del rocío ... ¿Por qué dividimos el mundo? ¿Refleja esto nuestro egoísmo? ... El prisma es nuestro primer paso hacia Dios, nuestras siete bienaventuranzas.”

Paul Cézanne: Frases en inglés

“The point to be made clear is that, whatever may be our temperament, or our power in the presence of nature, we have to render what we actually see, forgetting everything that appeared before our own time. Which, I think, should enable the artist to express his personality to the full, be it large or small. Now that I am an old man, about seventy, the sensations of colour which produce light give rise to abstractions that prevent me from covering my canvas, and from trying to define the outlines of objects when their points of contact are tenuous and delicate; with the result that my image or picture is incomplete. For another thing, the planes become confused, superimposed; hence Neo-Impressionism (initiated by Seurat and Paul Signac, ed., where everything is outlined in black, an error which must be uncompromisingly rejected. And nature, if consulted, shows us how to achieve this aim.”

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900

“It's like Impressionism. They all do it at the Salons. Oh, very discreetly! I too was an Impressionist. I don't conceal the fact. Pissarro had an enormous influence on me. But I wanted to make out of Impressionism something solid and lasting like the art of the museums.”

“I had the company of monsieur Gibert. Such people see clearly, but they have the teacher's eye. As the train was taking us past Alexis' place a staggering subject for a picture came into view towards the east: St-Victoire [later Cezanne made series of paintings of Mont St. Victoire and the crags above Beaurecueil]. I said, 'What a splendid subject'; he replied, 'The lines are too symmetrical'. Referring to 'L'Assommoir' [a novel of Emile Zola ] about which, incidentally, he was the first person to speak to me, he said some very sound things, and praised it, but always from the point of view of technique.”

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, 1860s - 1870s

“.. The Night-watch (large and famous painting of Dutch 17th century painter Rembrandt.... the grandiose - I don't say it in bad part - grows tiresome after a while. There are mountains like that; when you stand before them you shout Nom de Dieu, but for every day a simple little hill does well enough. Listen Monsieur Vollard, if the 'Raft of the Medusa' of Théodore Géricault hung in my bedroom, it would make me sick.”

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, 1880s - 1890s

“Alas, because I'm no longer innocent. We're civilized beings. Whether we like it or not, we have the cares and concerns of classical civilization in our bones. I want to express myself clearly when I paint. In people who feign ignorance there is a kind of barbarism even more detestable than the academic kind: it's no longer possible to be ignorant today. One no longer is. We come into the world armed with facility. Facility is the death of art and we must rid ourselves of it.”

“That is why, perhaps, all of us derive Pissarro. He had the good luck to be born in the West Indies, where he learned how to draw without a teacher. He told me all about it. In 1865 he was already cutting out black, bitumen, raw sienna and the ocher's. That's a fact. Never paint with anything but the three primary colours and their derivatives, he used to say me. Yes, he was the first Impressionist.”

“I still work with difficulty, but I seem to get along. That is the important thing to me. Sensations form the foundation of my work, and they are imperishable, I think. Moreover, I am getting rid of that devil who, as you know, used to stand behind me and forced me at will to 'imitate'; he's not even dangerous any more.”

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900

“Anyone who wants to paint should read Bacon. He defined the artists as homo additus naturae...

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, 1860s - 1870s

“Make others feel the same way about it. Without their realizing it! That's the meaning of art... Yes, what I'm aiming for is the logical development of what we see and feel when we observe nature; only then I'm concerned with the process, processes being for us no more than simple ways of getting the public to feel what we ourselves are feeling, and of making our point. The great artists we admire have done no more... Shall we have lunch?”

“Allow me to repeat what I said when you were here: deal with nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere and the cone, all placed in perspective, so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth, a section of nature, or if you prefer, of the spectacle spread before our eyes by the 'Pater Omnipotens Aeterne Deus'. Lines perpendicular to that horizon give depth. But for us men, nature has more depth than surface, hence the need to introduce in our vibrations of light, represented by reds and yellows, enough blue tints to give a feeling of air.”

Quotes of Paul Cezanne, after 1900

“Colour, if I may say so, is biological. Colour is alive and colour alone makes things come alive... Without losing any part of myself, I need to get back to that instinct, so that these colours in the scattered fields signify an idea to me, just as to them they signify a crop. Confronted by a yellow, they spontaneously feel the harvesting activity required of them, just as I, when faced with the same ripening tint..”

“Painting certainly means more to me than everything else in the world. I think my mind becomes clearer when I am in the presence of nature. Unfortunately, the realization of my sensations is always a very painful process with me. I can't seem to express the intensity which beats in upon my senses. I haven't at my command the magnificent richness of color which enlivens Nature... Look at that cloud; I should like to be able to paint that! Monet could. He had muscle.”

“There is, in a apple, in a head, a culminating point, and this point - in spite of the effect, the tremendous effect: shadow or light, sensations of colour - is always the one nearest to the eye. The edge of objects recede to another point placed on your horizon. This is my great principle, my conviction, my discovery.

“This is what happens, unquestionably – I am positive: an optical sensation is produced in our visual organ, which leads us classify as light, half-tone or quarter-tone, the planes represented by sensations of color. [Thus the light does not exist for the painter]. As long as, inevitably, one proceeds from black to white, the former of these abstractions being a kind of point of rest both for eye and brain, we flounder about, we cannot achieve self-mastery, get possession of ourselves. During this period (I tend to repeat myself, inevitably) we turn to the admirable works [of the five great Venetian painters a. o. Titian and Tintoretto] handed down to us through the ages, in which we find comfort and support…”
