Fantin-Latour, Self-portrait, 1861
Ignace Henri Jean Théodore Fantin-Latour was born on this day in 1836.
To make a painting representing things as they are found in
nature, I put a great deal of thought into the arrangement, but with the idea
of making it look like a natural arrangement of random objects. This is an idea
that I have been mulling over a great deal: giving the appearance of a total
lack of artistry.
