Friedrich Nietzsche / Renoir: "Abbiamo l'arte per non morire di realtà"!

"The great end of art is to strike the imagination with the power of a soul that refuses to admit defeat even in the midst of a collapsing world".
"Il grande fine dell'Arte è colpire l'immaginazione con la forza di un'anima che rifiuta di ammettere la sconfitta anche nel mezzo di un mondo che crolla.".

"L'Arte: La grande creatrice della possibilità di vivere,
la grande seduttrice della vita,
grande stimolante per vivere.."
