Weekly Brush Bristles – swimming with the Impressionists!

Rochefort’s Escape, Édouard Manet, 1881.

Édouard Manet said: “Every new painting is like throwing myself into the water without knowing how to swim.”

Then, from Edgar Degas: “Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.”

and Claude Monet: “Many people think I paint easily, but it is not an easy thing to be an artist. I often suffer tortures when I paint. It is a great joy and a great suffering.”
