"It’s wonderful to feel that he was here... To think that even in Paris he was creating in a place with this much light... Thinking about how the large works were coming in and out from this place... It really was a place for artists."
"C’est incroyable de se dire qu’il a été ici... Quand on pense que même à Paris il peignait dans un lieu avec autant de lumière... En pensant que des œuvres volumineuses sortaient et rentraient par cet endroit... On se dit que c'était vraiment un lieu pour les artistes."
