E. Manet

Color is a matter of taste and of sensitivity. ~ Black is not a color. ~ When you've got it, you've got it. When you haven't, you begin again. All the rest is humbug. ~It is not enough to know your craft – you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.



~ There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another.~There is only one true thing: instantly paint what you see.~ No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else. ~



There's no symmetry in nature. One eye is never exactly the same as the other. There's always a difference. We all have a more or less crooked nose and an irregular mouth. ~
