A portrait is a picture in which there is just a tiny little something not quite right about the mouth.

An artist painting a picture should have at his side a man with a club to hit him over the head when the picture is finished.

Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.

I do not judge, I only chronicle.

It is certain that at certain times talent entirely overcomes thought or poetry.
