Painting from nature is not copying the object it is realizing ones sensations. – Paul Cezanne
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. – Paul Cezanne
My nervous system is enfeebled, only work in oils can sustain me. – Paul Cezanne
For every man there comes that special moment when he is physically tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing – unique to him and fitted to his talents.
What a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for the work which would be his finest hour. – Anon.
