Summary

This quote suggests that for Impressionist artists, painting from nature is not simply about capturing the exact physical details of the subject. Instead, it is about capturing the fleeting sensations and impressions that they experience in the moment. Impressionists sought to depict the play of light, color, and textures, conveying the atmosphere and essence of their subject rather than creating an exact replica. By prioritizing the expression of their own perceptions and emotions, they aimed to evoke a similar response in the viewer, emphasizing the subjective and emotional nature of their artistic practice.

But as quickly as you can start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there will always be better writers than you and there will always be smarter writers than you, but you are the only you.

There are obstinate and unknown braves who defend themselves inch by inch in the shadows against the fatal invasion of want and turpitude. There are noble and mysterious triumphs which no eye sees. No renown rewards, and no flourish of trumpets salutes. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, and poverty and battlefields which have their heroes.
