Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

I want to show the truth, even if it's ugly.

I am a man of my time, and I paint my time.

I paint the human comedy.

I am a witness to the human condition.

I paint the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I am a painter of the night.

I paint the life of the marginalized.

I am a painter of the human soul.

I paint the truth, even if it's uncomfortable.

I am a painter of the real.

I paint the life of the demi-monde.

I am a painter of the human experience.

I paint the truth, without embellishment.

I am a painter of the everyday.

I paint the life of the working class.

I am a painter of the human spirit.

I paint the truth, no matter how harsh.

I am a painter of the moment.

I paint the life of the ordinary.

I am a painter of the human condition, in all its forms.
