如果,我们爱笑,我们在法国就有机会培养我们的高雅品位和完美感觉。我们尊重受迫害的人,我们竭尽全力捍卫这些以一敌众的人们的事业。今天,我向一位画家伸出同情之手,因为他被他的同行们排斥在沙龙门外。如果说我想毫无保留地表达我对他的才华的高度景仰的话,那么,我同时也看到了人们对他的排斥,说他为不受欢迎的可笑的画家。 If we love to laugh, we have a chance in France to cultivate our taste and perfection. We respect those who are persecuted, and we do our utmost to defend the cause of these people in an enemy. Today, I extend a hand of sympathy to an artist who was excluded from his salon by his colleagues. If I would like to convey without reservation my high admiration for his talent, then I also see people rejecting him and saying that he is an unwelcome and ridiculous painter.
