Paul Cezanne quotes about
Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.

See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
