"Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model."
Interest
"Whether it will convince or not, depends entirely on what it is in itself, what is there to be seen."
Will
"I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do."
Art
"The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art."

Art
"The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice."
Worth

People
"My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings."
Work
"A painter's tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art."
Life
