A painter can say all he
wants to with fruit or
flowers or even clouds.. --

A good painting is true to
itself. -- Edouard Manet
Claude Monet
writing
about Edouard Manet asserted "It was
only in 1869 that I saw him
again, and then we at once
became firm friends. At our
first meeting he invited me
to join him every evening at
a café in the Batignolles
district, where he and his
friends gathered at the end
of the day to talk. There I
met Frantin-Latour,
Cézanne,
Degas,
who had recently
returned from Italy, the art
critic Duranty, Emile Zola,
who was then making his
first foray into literature,
and several others. For my
part I used to take Sisley,
Bazille and Renoir there.
Nothing could have been more
interesting than the
discussions we had, with
their perpetual clash of
opinions. They kept our wits
sharpened, encouraged us to
press ahead with our own
experiments, and provided us
with enough enthusiasm to
keep at it for weeks on end
until our ideas became clear
and coherent. From them we
emerged more finely
tempered, our wills firmer,
our thoughts clearer and
less confused"
