The last quote I chose to illustrate was, "I am old and ill, and I have sworn to die painting." After doing a little research on Cezanne himself, I found out that painting was in fact the last thing he was doing before being bed ridden and dying a few days later. I thought that this was kind of ironic so I decided to make my own depiction of the quote. The quote states that Cezanne wanted to die while he was painting, so in my sketch I created a kind of foreshadowing of the end of his life. I created a sketch that depicted Cezanne creating a painting of his own grave stone, in which he "dies" before he could finish his last name on the grave stone.
