"One must not fix the attention of the observer on the nice mixture of pigments rather than the sentiment of his work. ...all the best artists have shown that the greatest achievement in the production of fine color is the concealment of pigments, and not the parade of them; and we may say the same of execution. The less apparent the means and manner of the artist, the more directly will his work appeal to the understanding and the feelings."
Asher Durand
