If you read some of the Parisian newspapers, among others the 'Figaro', so beloved of the right-thinking public, you must have learned that I am part of a group of artists who opened a private exhibition . You must also have seen what favour this exhibition enjoys in the eyes of these gentlemen . On the other hand, we have been praised in the radical newspaper, but you don't read those !
