Self-portraiture Is Something One Should Never Get Involved In, Since It Is Wrong To Lie Even Though One Endeavours To Tell The Truth.
Nothing In A Portrait Is A Matter Of Indifference. Gesture, Grimace, Clothing, Decor Even - All Must Combine To Realize A Character.
If My People Look As If They're In A Dreadful Fix, It's Because I Can't Get Them Out Of A Technical Dilemma.
I Loathe My Own Face, And I've Done Self-portraits Because I've Had Nobody Else To Do.
I Shall Praise Those Faces Which Seem To Project Out Of The Picture As Though They Were Sculptured, And I Shall Censure Those Faces In Which I See No Art But That Of Outline.
