Claude Monet | Meules, 1891 | Sotheby's

"Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than (John Singer) Sargent thinks".

- Claude Monet🎨 (1840-1926)

"Ho avuto il solo merito di aver dipinto direttamente di fronte alla natura, cercando di rendere le mie impressioni davanti agli effetti più fuggevoli, e sono desolato di essere stato la causa del nome dato ad un gruppo, la maggior parte del quale non aveva nulla di impressionista".

- Claude Monet🎨 (1840-1926)

Vincent Van Gogh

• Faccio sempre ciò che non so fare, per imparare come va fatto.

• Non è tanto il linguaggio del pittore che si deve sentire, quanto quello della natura.

• Ciò che desidero, è che tutto sia circolare e che non ci sia, per così dire, né inizio né fine nella forma, ma che essa dia, invece, l'idea di un insieme armonioso, quello della vita.

• Così il pennello sta alle mie dita come l'archetto al violino e assolutamente per mio piacere.

Ramiro Ramírez Cardona, 1954 | Surrealist / Realist painter

Ramiro Ramírez Cardona was born in Columbia, in a family of self-taught artists, sculptors and painters.

The human body rather than a being erotic or leakage eager libido, is itself, by its immediate essence, a dreamer, a creator and it is through the body, of that battered body, which has become a being communicating with dreams, ambitions, doubts and loneliness, that man has imagined and amazes us every day.

Édouard Vuillard | Post-Impressionist painter

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) was a French painter and printmaker.

Born in 1868 in Cuiseaux, a sleepy commune in the Saône-et-Loire region of Bourgogne in eastern France, it was assumed that Jean-Édouard Vuillard would follow in his father's footsteps and join the military.

But when he was 10 years old his family moved to Paris, where his eyes were opened to the arts and academia.

Awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Lycée Condorcet, Vuillard met Ker-Xavier Roussel and Maurice Denis, with whom he would become lifelong friends.
