One day, I was painting in watercolour a row of trees, someone told me: "it's funny, this tree looks like the squirrel's head." and after that, the only thing I could see in this painting was the squirrel's head...<br /><br />Coming back to "Le Déjeuner sur L'herbe", Manet probably did not want to make a "realistic" painting, but what broke for me the "suspension of belief" is that the bathing lady is out of scale and throws away the perspective. This is my personal view and perception and I respect your own views...<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />BenoitBenoit Philippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115851464803314458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915218223249254481.post-7969031957319171982011-07-13T13:13:17.549+01:002011-07-13T13:13:17.549+01:00I read your post about "Le Déjeuner sur L'...I read your post about "Le Déjeuner sur L'herbe" and I didn't understand why do you want to put realistic rules in the work of someone who was no longer using this paradigm.<br />I really don't see the painting the way you do and I can't see the trees without roots.<br />I saw in Paris, not only reproductions.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742171327602935061noreply@blogger.com
