"Nature is the totality of the objects our senses reveal to us. Given our inability to invent forms and colours, we must avail ourselves of those that are supplied by our sense of sight. If the painter's art came down to imitating the images he perceived by reproducing them on a screen, he would simply be performing a mechanical act in which the higher human faculties played no part. It would be an observed impression, with nothing added to it: unintelligent work. Painting, thus understood, is not painting." Paul Sérusier
