I do not judge, I only chronicle.

A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.

Cultivate an ever-continuous power of observation. Wherever you are, be always ready to make slight notes of postures, groups and incidents.

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.

A person with normal eyesight would have nothing to know in the way of 'Impressionism' unless he were in a blinding light or in the dusk or dark.

Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.

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