“No academy could have given me all I discovered by getting my teeth into the exhibitions, the shop windows, and the museums of Paris .

“Rays were blazing through the atmosphere of the earth, the horizon became bright orange, gradually passing into all the colors of the rainbow: from light blue to dark blue, to violet and then to black.
