My Drawings Are The Result Of My

Man's Naked Form Belongs To No Particular Moment In History; It Is Eternal, And Can Be Looked Upon With Joy By The People Of All Ages.

How Painful It Is To Find That My Figure Can Be Of No Help To My Future... How Painful To See It Rejected On Account Of A Slanderous Suspicion!

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.

The Artist Is The Confidant Of Nature, Flowers Carry On Dialogues With Him Through The Graceful Bending Of Their Stems And The Harmoniously Tinted Nuances Of Their Blossoms, Every Flower Has A Cordial Word Which Nature Directs Towards Him.

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.
