Albert Marquet: Frases em inglês

“.. the Matisse of long ago, so alert, such a battler, always giving as good as he got.”

As quoted by Hilary Spurling 'The Unknown Matisse: Man of the North, 1869 – 1908', Penguin UK, 28 Sep, 2006, note 47
In this quote Marquet looked back long afterwards to the late night conversations with Henri Matisse on the stairs of 19 Quai St. Michel

“When I draw, 1 am as pre-occupied before a gas-jet as before a human being.”

Ilya Ehrenburg wrote that Marquet said him this shortly after the War, in 1946.

[comment of his wife: Marquet frequently said this to his companions; he rarely appeared in the studio of his art teacher Gustave Moreau for any length of time because he felt ill at ease there. He preferred to sketch in the streets of Paris with w:Charles Camoin or w:Henri Manguin.

“Henri Matisse and I were already working, before the 1900 Exhibition, as far back as 1898, in what was later to be called the Fauve style.”

As quoted by J. E. Müller, Le Fauvisme, Paris, Hazan, 1956, p. 18
[Marquet's quote refers to the Spring and Summer of 1898 - after the death of their common Paris' art-teacher Gustave Moreau; Marquet was then painting together with Henri Matisse ].
