Eugene Boudin | Impressionist painter | Quotes / Aforismi

• I shall do other things, but I will always be the painter of beaches.
• Farò altre cose, ma sarò sempre il pittore delle spiagge.

• I have a confession to make. When I came back to.... the beach at Trouville.... it seeemed nothing more than than a frightful masquerade.... If you have passed one month among the people condemned to hard work in the fields, with black bread and water, and you then find that gang of golden parasites with such a triumphant air, you can't help feeling a bit of pity.... Fortunately, dear friend, the Creator has spread a little of his splendid and warming light everywhere, and what I reproduce is not so much this world as the element that envelops it.

Eugene Boudin | Quotes / Aforismi

• Everything that is painted directly and on the spot always has strength, a power, and a vivacity of touch one cannot recover in the studio... Three strokes of the brush in front of nature are worth more than two days of work at the easel [in the studio].
• Le opere dipinte direttamente sul luogo posseggono un potere e una vivacità che non possono essere riprodotte nell'atelier.
• [Venice is] somewhat disguised by the artists who usually paint Venice, who have disfigured it by turning it into a city heated by the brightest and hottest sun. On the contrary, Venice, like all luminous cities, has a grey hue, the atmosphere is mild and misty and the sky arrays itself with clouds, just like the sky of our Norman and Dutch regions.
