My Aim In Painting Has Always Been

I Once Got A Little Camera To Use For Details Of Architecture And So Forth But The Photo Was Always So Different From The Perspective The Eye Gives, I Gave It Up.

Everyone Goes To The 'grands-boulevards' (in Paris, Ed.) And Let Himself Loose... ...do Not Picture These In Costume, They Are Not For The Most Part... ...perhaps A Clown With A Big Nose, Or Two Girls With Bare Necks And Short Skirts... ...the Parade Of The Queens Of The Halls (markets) Is Also One Of The Events... ...some Are Pretty But Look Awkward In Their Silk Dresses And Crowns, Particularly As The Broad Sun Displays Their Defects - Perhaps A Neck Too Thin Or A Painted Face Which Shows Ghastley White In The Sunlight.

If I Had The Energy, I Would Have Done It All Over The County.

Well, I Have A Very Simple Method Of Painting.

After All, We Are Not French And Never Can Be, And Any Attempt To Be So Is To Deny Our Inheritance And To Try To Impose Upon Ourselves A Character That Can Be Nothing But A Veneer Upon The Surface.
