I paint things as they are. I don’t comment.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that when Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec painted, he simply showed the world exactly what he saw, without adding his own opinions or judgments. He wanted his art to reflect reality, not his personal thoughts or feelings about it. Toulouse-Lautrec believed that the power of art comes from capturing the truth of a moment or person, rather than trying to make a statement or send a message.
