I must, alas! Start with the work of M. Bouguereau. Mr. Gerome was renovated already frosty ivory Mieris Wilhelm, M. Bouguereau has done worse. Together with Mr. Cabanel, he invented the paint gas, blown part. This is even more china, it's licked flaccid; is indescribable, something like the soft flesh of octopus. The Birth of Venus , spread over the cornice of a room, is a poverty that has no name. The composition is that of everybody. A naked woman on a shell at the center. While more women frolicking around in poses known. The heads are commonplace, it is these Sydonie seen running in front of hairdressers, but what is more distressing Again, these are the busts and legs. Take Venus from head to toe, it's a badly swollen bladder. Or muscles, or nerves, or blood. Knees dildo, missing fasteners; is a miracle of equilibrium that this unfortunate standing. A pinprick in the torso and the whole fall. The color is vile, vile and is drawing. It is run as for chromo Favour boxes, hand walked alone by the undulation of the body mechanically. It is howling with rage when one considers that this painter who in the hierarchy of the poor, is a senior, is head of school and that school, if left unchecked, will simply become the absolute negation of art!
