Happy Birthday, Manet

 Manet, Still Life with Pears and Apple, 1864


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.  When you've got it, you've got it. When you haven't, you begin again. All the rest is humbug. 

Édouard Manet, born on this day in 1832.
