When I'm finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, or a tree branch -- as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash, it's bad art.

-- Marc Chagall, (Jul 7 1887-1985), Russian-French painter, graphic artist; He was well known for his colorful cubic fantasy narrative paintings depicting Russian village life.
