“I am aware that the realist period is finished. We have only just begun as far as painting is concerned.”

(Andre Derain, letter to Maurice Vlaminck, ca. 1901)

“The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed will set off a revolution.”

(Paul Cezanne, quoted in Gasquet, Paul Cezanne, 1921)
