THE DISADVANTAGE OF SENDING A BAD PAINTING TO THE EXHIBITION. - THEY WROTE ACROSS MY FOREST! SPINACH TWELVE SOUS PER METER! - AND WHAT ABOUT ME, MY MAGNIFICENT STUDY WORTHY OF GÉRICAULT,... THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO STICK THIS LABEL ON IT!! THIS IS A HORSE, DON'T MISTAKE IT FOR AN ASS WHICH MIGHT CONFUSE IT WITH THE AUTHOR!
