Poplars on the Epte (1891) by Claude Monet - Poster

“Only children know what they are looking for.”

“Art hovers around the truth, but with the firm intention not to burn itself.”

“Genius is childhood rediscovered at will.”

“Sight does not master the pictures, it is the pictures which master one's sight. They flood one's consciousness.”

“Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.”

“Perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to one another.”

“One must be absolutely modern.”

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.”

“If the world were clear, art would not be.”

“The sky is pretty like an angel.”

“Art is born of constraints, lives of struggles, and dies of freedom.”

“One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.”

“Art is the premonition of truth.”

“Tears fall in my heart as rain falls on the town.”

“To create is always to speak of childhood.”

“Art is the reflection that the dazzled human soul gives back of the splendor of the beautiful.”

“But where are the snows of yesteryear?”
