Recently I Have Taken To Isolating Limbs, The Torso. Why Am I Blamed For It? Why Is The Head Allowed And Not Portions Of The Body? Every Part Of The Human Figure Is Expressive.

What Is Drawing? Not Once In Describing The Shape Of The Mass Did I Shift My Eyes From The Model. Why? Because I Wanted To Be Sure That Nothing Evaded My Grasp Of It... My Objective Is To Test To What Extent My Hands Already Feel What My Eyes See.

Art Is Contemplation. It Is The Pleasure Of The Mind Which Searches Into Nature And Which There Divines The Spirit Of Which Nature Herself Is Animated.
