(W. Somerset Maugham 'The Summing Up')

The true function of art is to... edit nature and so make it coherent and lovely.

(H. L. Mencken)

One is never tired of painting, because you have to set down, not what you knew already, but what you have just discovered.

(William Hazlitt 'The Pleasure of Painting')

Art is long and life is fleeting.

(H. W. Longfellow)

The perfection of art is to conceal art.

(Quintilian [kwm'tlh;}n])

All art is but imitation of nature.

1 Well, it's really difficult to choose among such a lot of masterpieces of

world painting . But I remember being charmed by one landscape. It depicts the approach of a thunderstorm and is painted with great talent. The artist was able to impart a sinister atmosphere of the coming storm.

Only I can't remember what the picture is called or the name of the painter.

2 Oh, I enjoyed it. I have never seen such a rich collection of Russian painting.

3 That's right.

4 Well, it's a forest scene. The time is late summer or early autumn. Many leaves on the trees are already of reddish-yellow colour. A threatening cloud covers the sky. You get an impression that the next moment it will start raining.

5 The landscape in the picture looks very romantic.

6 Yes. The artist enlivens the landscape by two women driving geese along a little wooden bridge cross a stream in the foreground ...

7 Yes.
