BERNARD Émile [Lille, 1868 - Paris, 1941], French painter. - Lot 90
BERNARD Émile [Lille, 1868 - Paris, 1941], French painter. Autograph poem signed "Je croyais" . 1896; 1 page in folio. Small tears on right side and bottom of page. "I believed that pure art gave eternity and that the artist's august sacrifice to his work of blood, dream and soul was glorified by posterity. Not so; my times are of capacity No soul vibrates, and no heart persists In naive admiration where alone exists The holy reward offered to beauty! Masterpieces of yesteryear, reliquary albums You lie piled up in black antique shops, Far from the pious dreamer who would have understood you We refurbish you, when we don't despise you Has seen the sign dauber's whitewash For art for the ignorant has never had spirit".
