Paris Art: Introduction
Delacroix wrote two things in his journal that I want to share with you:
May 14, 1824 Paris
"The very people who believe that everything has already been discovered and everything said, will greet your work as something new, and will close the door behind you, repeating once more that nothing remains to be said." ...
"Newness is in the mind of the artist who creates, and not in the object he portrays.""What moves men of genius, or rather, what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough."
And with that the introduction to this blog completed.
