C'est vrai. Voilá quelqu'un qui sent comme moi. (It is true. There is someone who feels as I do).
Edgar DegasA picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar DegasThe artist does not draw what he sees, but what he must make others see. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things. A picture is first of all a product of the imagination of the artist; it must never be a copy. If then two or three natural accents can be added, obviously no harm is done. The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
