Paul Cézanne Quote

You wretch! [Cezanne is portraying the art dealer Vollard who changed his pose during the painter session] You've spoiled the pose. Do I have to tell you again you must sit like an apple? Does an apple move?

In a conversation in Cézanne's studio in Paris, ca. 1896-98, as quoted in Cezanne, by Ambroise Vollard, Dover publications Inc. New York, 1984, p. 74
