Basket of Apples (1880) by Claude Monet - Poster

“Art is the reflection that the dazzled human soul gives back of the splendor of the beautiful.”

“Only children know what they are looking for.”

“To create is always to speak of childhood.”

“But where are the snows of yesteryear?”

“If the world were clear, art would not be.”

“Tears fall in my heart as rain falls on the town.”

“One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.”

“Art is the premonition of truth.”

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

“Art is born of constraints, lives of struggles, and dies of freedom.”

“Genius is childhood rediscovered at will.”

“Sight does not master the pictures, it is the pictures which master one's sight. They flood one's consciousness.”

“One must be absolutely modern.”

“Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.”

“The sky is pretty like an angel.”

“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.”

“Art hovers around the truth, but with the firm intention not to burn itself.”

“Perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to one another.”
