Today I immersed myself into the world of Lautrec. It has included a wonderful 1953 movie about him, 'Moulin Rouge', with Jose Ferrer, the music, many of his painting. I love his colors.

A quotation from Hazlitt, William

It is erroneous to tie down individual genius to ideal models. Each person should do that, not which is best in itself, even supposing this coudl be known, but that which he can do best, which he will find out if left to himself. Spenser could not have written Paradise Lost, nor Milton the Faerie Queene. Those who aim at faultless regularity will only produce mediocrity, and no one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830) English writer
“Thoughts on Taste”, Edinburgh Magazine (1819-07)
