The Louvre Is The Book In Which

An Optical Impression Is Produced On Our Organs Of Sight Which Makes Us Classify As Light, Half-tone Or Quartertone, The Surfaces Represented By Colour Sensations. So That Light Does Not Exist For The Painter.

The Artist Makes Things Concrete And Gives Them Individuality.

In Order To Make Progress, There Is Only Nature, And The Eye Is Turned Through Contact With Her.

See How The Light Tenderly Love The Apricots, It Takes Them Over Completely, Enters Into Their Pulp, Light Them From All Sides! But It Is Miserly With The Peaches And Light Only One Side Of Them.

Design And Color Are Not Distinct And Separate. As One Paints, One Draws. The More The Colors Harmonize, The More The Design Takes Form. When Color Is At It's Richest, Form Is At Its Fullest.
