The Louvre Is The Book In Which We Learn To Read. We Must Not, However, Be Satisfied With Retaining The Beautiful Formulas Of Our Illustrious Predecessors.

Time And Reflection, Moreover, Little By Little Modify Our Vision, And At Last Comprehension Comes To Us.

Don't Be An Art Critic. Paint. There Lies Salvation.
