Frasi di Édouard Manet

1/11

Dobbiamo ammaliare la verità, darle l'apparenza della follia.

2/11

The principal person in a picture is light.

3/11

The country only has charms for those not obliged to stay there.

4/11

Concision in art is a necessity and an elegance. The verbose painter bores: who will get rid of all these trimmings?

5/11

There is only one true thing: instantly paint what you see.

6/11

There's no symmetry in nature. One eye is never exactly the same as the other. There's always a difference. We all have a more or less crooked nose and an irregular mouth.

7/11

La concisione nell'arte è una necessità e un'eleganza. Il pittore prolisso annoia: chi si libererà di tutti questi fronzoli?

8/11

Il nero non è un colore.

9/11

You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real.

10/11

Il personaggio principale in un quadro è la luce.

11/11

Ho bisogno di lavorare per sentirmi bene.
