Quotes from Edouard Vuillard

We perceive nature through the senses, which give us images of forms of colour, sounds etc. A form which exists only in relation to another form on its own, it does not exist.

I do not belong to any school, I simply want to do something that is personal to my self.

There is no art without a poetic aim.

To say that a thing is beautiful is simply an act of faith, not a measurement on some kind of scale.
