Zitat des Tages von Camille Pissarro:
When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.
Work at the same time on sky, water, branches, ground, keeping everything going on an equal basis... Don't be afraid of putting on colour... Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.
God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.
At fifty, that is in 1880, I formulated the idea of unity, without being able to render it. At sixty, I am beginning to see the possibility of rendering it.
Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add.
Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.
Observe that it is a great error to believe that all mediums of art are not closely tied to their time.
It is absurd to look for perfection.
I remember that, although I was full of fervour, I didn't have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. It was in the air!
Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.
