First sentence: "Art changes only through strong convictions, convictions strong enough to change society at the same time" So proclaimed Theophile Thore, auarante-buitard critic, admirer of Theodore Rousseau, Millet, and Courbet, an art historian who discovered Vermeer and one of the spokesmen for a new, more democratic art, in 1855, in exile from Louis Napoleon's imperial France.
