I have tried to do what is true and not ideal.

~Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

The Laundress, 1889

 In our time there are many artists who do something because it is new; they see their value and their justification in this newness. They are deceiving themselves; novelty is seldom the essential. This has to do with one thing only; making a subject better from its intrinsic nature.

~Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

 I have posted three videos on the art works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautreac with YouTube on the Channel: A PRONK STUDIO VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/user/raymondpronk

I  hope you all enjoy them, as I did making them.

I believe Toulouse-Lautreac is a very under-rated artist.

 They [people] want me to finish things. But I see them in such a way and paint them accordingly… Nothing is simpler than to complete pictures in a superficial sense. Never does one lie so cleverly as then.

~Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Toulouse-Lautrec, The Milliner, 1900

The Toilette, 1900

 

I paint things as they are. I don’t comment. I record.
