Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Quotations

"It is easy to finish things. Nothing is simpler. Never does one lie so cleverly as then."

 

"Landscape is and must be nothing more than an accessory; the pure landscape painter is a dumb brute. Landscape must serve only to enhance our understanding of the character of the figure."

 

"In our time there are many artists who do something because it is new; they see their value and their justification in this newness. They are deceiving themselves; novelty is seldom the essential. This has to do with one thing only; making a subject better from its intrinsic nature."
