Augustin Théodule Ribot

Une Grande douleur

1868

THE ABSENT-MINDED. THIS ARTIST, AFTER HAVING BEEN TO THE SALON, IS SEIZED BY A SUBLIME INSPIRATION AND APPROACHES HIS CANVAS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, TONES OF MUSIC, THE MOST PIQUANT EFFECT THE MOST DELICATE TOUCH PROMISING A MASTERPIECE. 2, 3, 4 HOURS GONE BY AND SOMETHING AS APPEALING AS A TITIAN, MICHELANGELO IS LEFT TO POSTERITY..... AFTERWARDS, ONCE HIS EXCITEMENT HAS SUBSIDED, HE REALIZES..... HE HAD FORGOTTEN TO USE THE BRUSH.

Honoré Daumier

Le Distrait. Cet artiste revient du salon, et saisi d’une inspiration sublime il s’approche de sa toile; tout à coup les tons les plus suaves; les effets les plus piquans, la touche la plus délicate promettent un chef-d’œuvre; eux, trois, quatre heures se passent, la postérité l’appelle, il est grand comme le Titien, comme Michel-Ange … puis son imagination se calme, le voilà maître de lui même oh douleur! ….. il n’a fait que remuer les doigts, il n’avait pas pris son pinceau.
