Week 6

Quotes form Cezanne and Illustrations.

1) I am old and ill, and I have sworn to die painting.



The quote from Cezanne is stating that you are never to old to express yourself. The first thing that came to mind when I read this quote was Cezanne as an old man, determined to keep going forward, so that's what I drew. The focal points are the inset eyes that are looking straight out of the paper, challenging the viewer.
























2) With an apple I will astonish Paris.

This quote expresses simplicity, that the simplest things can be beautiful. An apple is nothing, but if it is simply beautiful than it will amaze anyone. I wouldn't call my work amazing, but it expresses the simplicity, it is an apple, with basic shading and coloring.























3) An art which isn't based on feeling isn't and art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle.

I like this quote because the most expressive at that I have seen has a basic emotion or feeling linked to it. I recently saw a Picasso of a mother holding her child, and that was the first thing that I thought of when I read this quote. This is a recreation of the piece, you can see and feel the love and gentleness in the mother, and the connection between mother and child.
