One Does Not Marry Art. One Ravishes

My Art, What Do You Want To Say About It? Do You Think You Can Explain The Merits Of A Picture To Those Who Do Not See Them? . . .

The Frame Is The Reward Of The Artist.

Make Portraits Of People In Typical, Familiar Poses, Being Sure Above All To Give Their Faces The Same Kind Of Expression As Their Bodies.
