Jean-Frédéric Bazille
Quotations

"Thanks to Gleyre's teaching, I shall at least be able to boast that I have not copied anybody."

 

"Never paint from life. Always from memory and from prints of the old masters."

 

"Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement; for transfiguration, not for the sake of play. It is the quest of our Self that drives us along the eternal and never-ending journey we must all make."
