Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
I paint things as they are. I don't comment. I record.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
It is easy to finish things. Nothing is simpler. Never does one lie so cleverly as then.

Of course one should not drink much, but often.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
I have tried to do what is true and not ideal.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
I don't belong to any school. I work in my corner. I admire Degas.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
I do not know if you bridle your pen, but when my pencil moves, it is necesary to let it go, or - crash!... nothing more.
