Paul
Cézanne
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.
Art is a harmony parallel with nature.
Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been
seen. an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors.
Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and
shadow
are only the relation of two tones.
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad?
I sometimes wonder, you know.
There are two things in the painter, the eye
and the mind;
each of them should aid the other.

Paul Gauguin
A
compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes that he has got the biggest piece.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art.
Otherwise, what would become of beauty?
Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative
weaknesses.
In art, all who have done something other
than their predecessors have merited the epithet of
revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters.
We never really know what stupidity is until we have
experimented on ourselves.
