The Aura Given Out By

The Paintings Live Because Their Creator Has Been Passionately Attentive To Their Theme, And His Attention Has Left Something For Us To Look At. It Seems A Sort Of Miracle.

The Painter Makes Real To Others His Innermost Feelings About All That He Cares For. A Secret Becomes Known To Everyone Who Views The Picture Through The Intensity With Which It Is Felt.

The Painter's Obsession With His Subject Is All That He Needs To Drive Him To Work.

If All The Qualities Which A Painter Took From The Model For His Picture Were Really Taken, No Person Could Be Painted Twice.

I Would Wish My Portraits To Be Of The People, Not Like Them. Not Having A Look Of The Sitter, Being Them.
