The Louvre stopped buying paintings in 1848, and neither the Metropolitan nor the Hermitage acquire contemporary material.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
I haven't been in the Louvre for twenty years. It doesn't interest me because I have these doubts about the value of the judgments which decided that all these pictures should be presented to the Louvre instead of others which weren't even considered.
The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art.
I didn't have any interest in traditional art.
I have never been much of a painter.
There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome.
The world of painting has nothing to do with the art world.
There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
The French never allow a distinguished son of France to lack a statue.
