Émile Zola (1840-1902)
Émile François Zola (French pronunciation: [e.mil zɔ.la]; 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) was a French writer, the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'Accuse.[1]
Quotes·Quotation
¶ My own art is a negation of society, an affirmation of the individual, outside all rules and demands of society.
¶ "The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work."
Both the gift and the work are equally important for an artist to truly succeed and create meaningful art.
