Art in painting should consist only in the representation of things visible and tangible to the artist.
Every age should be respected only by its own artists, that is to say, by the artists who have lived in
it. I also maintain that painting is an essentially concrete art form and can consist only of the
representation of both real and existing things.โ โ Courbet, 1861](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
