Patience is also a form of action.
The body always expresses the spirit whose envelope it is. And for him who can see, the nude offers the richest meaning.
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
I have unbounded admiration for the nude. I worship it like a god.
To any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth.
