F.B. Neuhaus - Magnolias en fleurs (1924)

Une image et des mots. Un tableau du peintre de genre allemand Fritz Berthold Neuhaus (1852-1922).

Et les mots que j'ai choisis pour aller avec sont extraits d'une lettre de William Blake au Révérend Dr. J.  Trusler, le 23 août 1799.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all.

But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. As a man is, so he sees.

So you certainly mistake, when you say that the visions of fancy are not to be found in this world. To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so... I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike.
