"I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong."
Art
"There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so."
Truth
"The painter must give a completely free rein to any feeling or sensations he may have and reject nothing to which he is naturally drawn."
Emotional
"My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings."
Work
"Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid."
Want
"The painter's obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work."
Work
"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
"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
"The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art."
Nature
"I want paint to work as flesh."
