Observations

From Renoir:


Milo Andrea Wagner
"The figures of a Renoir blend sublimely into their settings, and the settings back into the figures. That his subjects exist in intricate symbiosis with their environment is both a technique of the brush and a philosophical statement, nowhere better illustrated than in his early masterpiece of 1874, La Loge (The Theatre Box)."

Emily Carr Journals:
"I begin to see that everything is perfectly balanced so that what one borrows, one must pay back in some form or another that everything has its own place, and is interdependent on the rest, that a picture, like life, must also have perfect balance."
