Cezanne, You See, Is A Sort Of

Exactitude Is Not Truth.

I Don't Paint Women, I Paint Pictures. . . What I Am After Above All Is Expression. If In A Portrait I Put Eyes, A Nose, A Mouth, There Isn't Much Use; On The Contrary It Paralyses The Imagination Of The Spectator, And Obliges Us To See The Person In A Certain Way.

Color, Even More Than Drawing, Is A Means Of Liberation.

Truth And Reality In Art Do Not Arise Until You No Longer Understand What You Are Doing And Are Capable Of But Nevertheless Sense A Power That Grows In Proportion To Your Resistance.

Cutting Straight Into Color Reminds Me Of The Direct Carving Of The Sculptor.
