« What counts in a picture is not its resemblance with any object, being or with nature: it is the magic that arises from it, at the connecting point of the outer world of the artist and of his inner world. A figurative picture, as likely as it may, is always abstract by some of its features. Isn’t the vast and complex nature impossible to imitate. » Elise Rieuf - La leçon des Maîtres |
