“We learned from Gauguin that every work of art is a transposition, a caricature, a passionate equivalent of a sensation which has been experienced. He freed us from all restraints which the idea of copying naturally placed on our painter's instincts. All artists are now free to express their own personality.” Has BeensArtIdeasArtistFreedomPersonalityArt IsInstinctPassionatePainterWorks Of ArtSensationsRestraintCaricaturesCopying Author:Maurice Denis

A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her.” FirstsHas BeensArtLyingArt IsCrossesMalesWorks Of ArtStrokesEroticPenetrateOrnamentsVerticalHorizontalLying Down Author:Adolf Loos
