The Only Quality That Endures In Art

If The Technical Innovations Of The Impressionists Led Merely To A More Accurate Representation Of Nature, It Was Perhaps Of Not Much Value In Enlarging Their Powers Of Expression.

In Its Most Limited Sense, Modern, Art Would Seem To Concern Itself Only With The Technical Innovations Of The Period.

There Will Be, I Think, An Attempt To Grasp Again The Surprise And Accidents Of Nature And A More Intimate And Sympathetic Study Of Its Moods, Together With A Renewed Wonder And Humility On The Part Of Such As Are Still Capable Of These Basic Reactions.

I Have Tried To Present My Sensations In What Is The Most Congenial And Impressive Form Possible To Me.

Everyone Goes To The 'grands-boulevards' (in Paris, Ed.) And Let Himself Loose... ...do Not Picture These In Costume, They Are Not For The Most Part... ...perhaps A Clown With A Big Nose, Or Two Girls With Bare Necks And Short Skirts... ...the Parade Of The Queens Of The Halls (markets) Is Also One Of The Events... ...some Are Pretty But Look Awkward In Their Silk Dresses And Crowns, Particularly As The Broad Sun Displays Their Defects - Perhaps A Neck Too Thin Or A Painted Face Which Shows Ghastley White In The Sunlight.
