I am glad I have that artistic life in me.. .[I'm] a nobody in my field of art.. .I don't overestimate myself at all, and that's why I can't get that… - Maria Bilders-van Bosse

" "

I am glad I have that artistic life in me.. .[I'm] a nobody in my field of art.. .I don't overestimate myself at all, and that's why I can't get that comfort from my work [landscape painting], which the Great [artists] have in their field of art. What else to say! 50 years after my death!! I laughed about it. Do you think they will remember me after only one year? [after her death] Dear heaven! No, that is really my least concern.

Additional quotes by Maria Bilders-van Bosse

version in original Dutch (citaat uit een brief van Marie Bilders-van Bosse, in het Nederlands:) Van onze togten in Drenthe [ 1878-79] genoot hij [ ] veel, doch en vooral bleven zijn hoofdpunten. Drenthe was hem te nieuw. 't Mooiste wat hij ervan maakte waren 'de Hunnebedden', een fusain in mijn bezit. Hij vond daar overal weder.

He [ Johannes Warnardus Bilders ] painted – was living in Utrecht, [he] immediately attracted attention and had many ideas, got good prices for that time; and once he thought 'Is this really beautiful, as people say - but the people are crazy or I am - I came to the conclusion – the people are wrong - picked up my things and went to Oosterbeek' [Autumn of 1841, where he thoroughly started to study nature: branches, stems, plants. Etc..] (translation from Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek).
