exalter l’individu si rabaissé par la démocrasserie Flaubert par Nadar, 1865, Bibliothèque Municipale de Rouen Page 191, “Later on painters will do better, but they will be less original!” Are you sure of that? — “They will go further.” Well then, what matters the rest! The key, it seems to me, is to go further. I am grateful to you for exalting the individual so degraded today by democrassery. But there is something above him. That’s the conception that he forms of things in their entirety and the way of expressing it, which is a Creation equal, if not superior, to that of nature. Once again (and here is the crux of disagreement between us) you do not pay enough attention to Art in itself, which exists, nonetheless. — Gustave Flaubert, lettre à Hippolyte Taine, 5? November 1866, Correspondance, Vol. III, Gallimard, 1991, p. 548 Добавить комментарий: |
