Quotes from the same author

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.
 Pierre-Auguste Renoir
A fat lot of good it would do if I told you that Titian's courtesans make you want to caress them. Some day you'll see the Titians for yourself, and if they have no effect on you, then you don't understand the first thing about painting. And I wouldn't be able to help you.

 Pierre-Auguste Renoir

 Pierre-Auguste Renoir
