The Air We See In The Paintings

Realism Is More Important Than The Sentiment Of The Picture.

I Put It [picture "a Still Life Of A Pear" By Edouard Manet] There [on The Wall, Next To The Picture "jupiter And Thetis" By Jean-auguste-dominique Ingres], For A Pear Like That Would Overthrow Any God.

Work A Great Deal At Evening Effects, Lamplight, Candlelight, Etc. The Intriguing Thing Is Not To Show The Source Of The Light But The Effect Of The Lighting.

Art Is Really A Battle.

Only When He No Longer Knows What He Is Doing Does The Painter Do Good Things.
