"The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself." ― Paul Cezanne Topic(s): Art More From Paul Cezanne "Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one’s sensations." "You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest." "My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I’ve been pursuing all my life." More In Art "Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don’t believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art’s sake."― E. M. Forster "When museums are built these days, architects, directors, and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties, eat dinner, wine-and-dine donors. Sure, these are important these days – museums have to bring in money – but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance."― Jerry Saltz "Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep or acquire them."― Blaise Pascal
