William Bouguereau1825- 1905

"One has to seek

Beauty and Truth,

Sir! As I always say

to my pupils, you

have to work to the

finish. There's only

one kind of painting .

"Each day I go to my

studio full of joy; in

the evening when

obliged to stop

because of darkness

I can scarcely wait

for the morning to

come...My work is

not only a pleasure,

it has become a

necessity. No matter

how many other

things I have in my

life, if I cannot give

myself to my dear

painting I am

miserable." --William

Bouguereau
