La Tour is never impulsive, but he is always concerned with a release of the spirit. He is never cold but his paintings are models of logical organization. By some miracle, In combining these two opposing ideals of expression he compromises neither." John Canaday
Q: For Canaday what is the miracle of De La tour?
To Canaday, De la Tour speaks with his painting, as if he presents them living. His paintings symbolizes deeper philosophy of life where he has spontaneous access and familiarity. His paintings are the vivid presentation of different psychology. On the canvas he presents the reality. There is a miraculous mingling of fantasy and reality.
