“Impression, Sunrise”, 1872, Musee Martottan Monet

“Don't copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction; derive this abstraction from nature while dreaming before it, but think more of creating than of actual result. The only way to rise towards God is by doing as our Divine master does, create....”
Paul Gauguin
“Art is.”
Paul Gauguin
