DAMNED LANDLORD!... YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL MY TROUBLES. IT WAS YOU WHO INSISTED TO BE PORTRAYED BY ME TO COVER THE OUTSTANDING RENT.... NOW THE JURY HAS REJECTED MY PAINTINGS SAYING THEY WERE JUST TOO UGLY! I AM SURE IT WASN'T MY WORK THEY FOUND TO BE HORRIBLE.... IT WAS YOUR FACE!
Honoré Daumier
Maudit propriétaire..., tu seras donc cause de tous mes maux......, tu m'as demandé, en paiement de tous les termes que je te dois, à ce que je fasse ton portrait pour l'exposition, le jury a refusé mon tableau en disant qu'il était atroce!..... ce n'est pas mon travail qu'ils ont trouvé vilain......, j'en suis sûr..... mais ta tête!.....
