“Impression—I was certain of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed,
there had to be some impression in it…and what freedom, what ease of workmanship!
Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape!”
--Louis LeRoy
“For me a picture has to be something pleasant, delightful, and pretty—yes, pretty. There
are enough unpleasant things in the world without us producing even more.”
--Pierre-Auguste Renoir
