Living.

Edouard Manet, Flowers In A Crystal Vase, 1882


It is not enough to know your craft - you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more. You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real.
- Edouard Manet
