Renoir Had Not Only A

Reality Is Obtained Not By Imitation, But By Producing The Sense Of Nature.

When The Artist Is Alive In Any Person, Whatever His Kind Of Work May Be, He Becomes An Inventive, Searching, Daring, Self-expressive Creature. He Becomes Interesting To Other People. He Disturbs, Upsets, Enlightens, And Opens Ways For Better Understanding. Where Those Who Are Not Artists Are Trying To Close The Book, He Opens It And Shows There Are Still More Pages Possible.

Manet Did Not Do The Expected. He Was A Pioneer. He Followed His Individual Whim. Told The Public What He Wanted It To Know, Not The Time Worn Things The Public Already Knew And Thought It Wanted To Hear Again. The Public Was Very Much Offended.

Drawing Is Not Following A Line On The Model, It Is Drawing Your Sense Of The Thing.

Perhaps Whatever There Is In My Work That May Be Really Interesting To Others And Surely What Is Interesting To Me, Is The Result Of A Sometimes Successful Effort To Free Myself From Any Idea That What I Produce Must Be Art.
