Everything today, seen under a certain light, is so different from yesterday. But this is perhaps only outwardly so. Nothing about this sky, this earth, this tree has altered or changed since Cimabue. It is you who, following the ideas you have in your head, believe everything to vary with the whim of your transient impressions.
Extract from Rouault sur l’Art et sur la Vie, Les Editions Denoël-Gonthier, Paris 1971
