Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec Quotations
Love is when the desire to
be desired takes you so
badly that you feel you
could die of it. --Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec
These people annoy me. They
want me to finish things.
But I see them in such a way
and paint them accordingly.
Look, it is so easy to
finish things. I can easily
paint you a Bastien-Lepage....Nothing
is simpler than to complete
pictures in a superficial
sense. Never does one lie so
cleverly as then. - Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec
I paint the dance girls
because they are the
ingenuous soul of Paris. ~
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
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. -- Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec
Novelty is seldom the
essential... make a subject
better from its intrinsic
nature. -- Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec
