More quotes by Edouard Manet
I paint what I see and not what others like to see.
Edouard Manet
There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another.
Edouard Manet
Conciseness in art is essential and a refinement. The concise man makes one think the verbose bores. Always work towards conciseness.
Edouard Manet
In a face, look for the main light and the main shadow the rest will come naturally — it's often not important. And then you must cultivate your memory, because Nature will only provide you with references. Nature is like a warden in a lunatic asylum. It stops you from becoming banal.
Edouard Manet
The principal person in a picture is light.
Edouard Manet
There is only one true thing: Instantly paint what you see.
Edouard Manet
Concision in art is a necessity and an elegance. The verbose painter bores: who will get rid of all these trimmings?
Edouard Manet
This woman's work is exceptional. Too bad she's not a man.
Edouard Manet
I would kiss you, had I the courage.
Edouard Manet
You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real.
Edouard Manet
I need to work to feel well.
Edouard Manet
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
Edouard Manet
Every new painting is like throwing myself into the water without knowing how to swim.
Edouard Manet
I paint as I feel like painting to hell with all their studies.
Edouard Manet
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.
Edouard Manet
The country only has charms for those not obliged to stay there.
Edouard Manet
