Maurice Denis quotes
-
“All that is necessary to paint well is to be sincere.”
-- Maurice Denis -
“Remember that a painting - before it is a battle horse, a nude model, or some anecdote - is essentially a flat surface covered with colours assembled in a certain order.”
-- Maurice Denis -
“All artists are now free to express their own personality.”
-- Maurice Denis -
-
“We learned from Gauguin that every work of art is a transposition, a caricature, a passionate equivalent of a sensation which has been experienced. He freed us from all restraints which the idea of copying naturally placed on our painter's instincts. All artists are now free to express their own personality.”
-- Maurice Denis
