The best quotes by the author we have brought to you
“PS In my last letter I casually asked if the young lady in the blue outfit in the foreground of your religious picture was Mary Magdalene the sinner. If you have not as yet replied to my letter, please go on refraining. It is possible that I was mistaken and I do not willfully invite any disillusions at this point in my life. I am willing to stay in the dark.” (De Daumier-Smith’s Blue Period Quotes)

De Daumier-Smith’s Blue Period
“The unforgettable one was done in florid wash colors, with a caption that read: ‘Forgive Them Their Trespasses.’ It showed three small boys fishing in an odd-looking body of water, one of their jackets draped over a ‘No Fishing!’ sign. The tallest boy, in the foreground of the picture, appeared to have rickets in one leg and elephantiasis in the other–an effect, it was clear, that Miss Kramer had deliberately used to show that the boy was standing with his feet slightly apart.”

De Daumier-Smith’s Blue Period
“Then something altogether hideous happened. The thought was forced on me that no matter how coolly or sensibly or gracefully I might one day to learn to live my life, I would always at best be a visitor in a garden of enamel urinals and bedpans, with a sightless, wooden dummy-deity standing by in a marked-down rupture truss.”
