Paul Cezanne

Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.

An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.

There are two things in the painter, the eye and the mind; each of them should aid the other.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

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.
