Recently I Have Taken To Isolating Limbs,

Mere Exactitude, Of Which Photography And Moulage [life Casting] Are The Lowest Forms, Does Not Inspire Feelings.

A Mediocre Man Copying Nature Will Never Produce A Work Of Art, Because He Really Looks Without Seeing, And Though He May Have Noted Each Detail Minutely, The Result Will Be Flat And Without Character... The Artist On The Contrary, Sees; That Is To Say, His Eye, Grafted On His Heart, Reads Deeply Into The Bosom Of Nature.

True Artists Are Almost The Only Men Who Do Their Work For Pleasure.

Nobody Does Good To Men With Impunity.

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.
