"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
"When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won't."
Body
"The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement."
Art

Art

Worth
"As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does."
Work
"I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them."
