The living model, the naked body of a woman, is the privileged seat of feeling, but also of questioning... The model must mark you, awaken in you an emotion which you seek in turn to express.
I have been no more than a medium, as it were.

What I am after, above all, is expression.
Precision is not reality
...for whether we want to or not, we belong to our time and we share in its opinions, its feelings, even its delusions.
