Summary

This quote suggests that painters derive a unique satisfaction from having their work observed by other painters. The shared experience mentioned here pertains to the act of manipulating paint on a canvas, which is something only painters can truly appreciate. By seeking validation and recognition from fellow artists, a painter seeks to establish a connection with those who engage in the same creative process. This shared understanding supports the idea that artists find comfort and fulfillment in the acknowledgment of their craft by those who intimately understand the challenges and joys of painting.
