小喜事

＊　　＊　　＊

從展區入口處到驗票口前的兩側，牆面滿是這次展出畫家們的語錄

沒有時限，自在欣賞，不能拍照，隨手抄寫，搭配畫作，更添趣味

Eugène-louis Boudin  布丹 (1824-1898)

All that is painted directly from the subject has always a force,

a power, a touch of life that one loses in the studio.

The first impression is the best.

One must attach oneself to it and refuse to budge from it.

Édouard Manet  馬內 (1832-1883)

The truth is this, art should be the writing of life. 

Camille Pissarro  畢沙羅 (1833-1903)

Paint literally and without hesitation to preserve 

the freshness of the first impression.

Edgar Degas  竇加 (1834-1917)

Painting, it is very easy when you don't know how to paint.

Once you know, it is very difficult.

Alfred Sisley  西斯萊 (1839-1899)

All painting presents some thing with 

which the painter has fallen in love.

Paul Cézanne  塞尚 (1839-1906)

When color is in its fullness, form is in its plenitude.

Claude Monet  莫內 (1840-1926)

Color is my daily obsession, my joy and my torment.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir  雷諾瓦 (1841-1919)

You arrive before nature with theories, 

and nature casts them all to the ground.

Henri-Julien-Felix Rousseau  盧梭 (1844-1910)

As I enter the greenhouse in the Jardin des Plantes

and I see strange plants from nations exotic,

it seems as if I have entered into a dream.

Paul Gauguin  高更 (1848-1903)

The work of a man is the explanation of that man.

Van Gogh  梵谷 (1853-1890)

Making sketches amounts to a planting of seeds

that grow into painting.

Henri Matisse  馬諦斯 (1869-1954)

That which I dream of is

an art of balance, of purity, of tranquility,

without disquieting or preoccupying subjects,

which is... an emollient, a balm for the mind,

a thing analogous to a trusty armchair

which absolves the body of its weariness.

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso  畢卡索 (1881-1973)

I have directed my entire life towards learning 

how to draw like a child.

Amedeo Modigliani  莫迪里亞尼 (1884-1920)

I try to formulate with the greatest clarity the truth

about art and life, in the way that I experienced it.

Marc Chagall  夏卡爾 (1887-1985)

My circus performs in the sky.

Marcel Duchamp  杜象 (1887-1968)

The great enemy of art is good taste.

Joan Miró  米羅 (1893-1983)

I don't invent anything. Everything is here.

Yves Tanguy  唐吉 (1900-1955)

The painting develops before my eyes,

unfolding its surprises as it develops.
