Image
I would kiss you, had I the courage.
Edouard Manet
Image
The country only has charms for those not obliged to stay there.
Edouard Manet
Image
Conciseness in art is essential and a refinement. The concise man makes one think the verbose bores. Always work towards conciseness.
Edouard Manet
Image
There is only one true thing: Instantly paint what you see.
Edouard Manet
Image
Who is this Monet whose name sounds just like mine and who is taking advantage of my notoriety?
Edouard Manet
Image
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
Image
There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another.
Edouard Manet
Image
I paint what I see and not what others like to see.
Edouard Manet
Image
I paint as I feel like painting to hell with all their studies.
Edouard Manet
Image
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
Edouard Manet
Image
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
Image
Every new painting is like throwing myself into the water without knowing how to swim.
Edouard Manet
Image
The principal person in a picture is light.
Edouard Manet
Image
This woman's work is exceptional. Too bad she's not a man.
Edouard Manet
Image
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
Image
Concision in art is a necessity and an elegance. The verbose painter bores: who will get rid of all these trimmings?
