As for Sisley, I just can't enjoy his work visiting the Paris Impressionism-exhibition of art-dealer M. Petit, May 1887, it is commonplace, forced, disordered; Sisley has a good eye, and his work will certainly charm all those whose artistic sense is not very refined.
Alfred Sisley

For the target art has a broad expanse, And wherever you chance to hit it, Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame, There are those who will never admit it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

T. S. Eliot
