Édouard Manet

One must always be a student.

The most beautiful thing is to be able to create.

I have always tried to be honest in my work.

The artist must be free.

I paint with my eyes, not with my hands.

The most important thing is to have a good eye.

I have always been interested in light.

The artist must be a poet.

I paint what I love.

The most important thing is to be true to oneself.

I have always tried to capture the moment.

The artist must be a visionary.

I paint with my heart.

The most important thing is to have passion.

I have always tried to be original.

The artist must be a philosopher.

I paint with my soul.

The most important thing is to have courage.

I have always tried to be bold.

The artist must be a rebel.
