Everything Is Autobiographical And Everything Is A

If All The Qualities Which A Painter Took From The Model For His Picture Were Really Taken, No Person Could Be Painted Twice.

And, Since The Model He Faithfully Copies Is Not Going To Be Hung Up Next To The Picture, Since The Picture Is Going To Be There On Its Own, It Is Of No Interest Whether It Is An Accurate Copy Of The Model.

A Painter Must Think Of Everything He Sees As Being There Entirely For His Own Use And Pleasure.

My Work Is Purely Autobiographical... It Is About Myself And My Surroundings.

A Painter's Tastes Must Grow Out Of What So Obsesses Him In Life That He Never Has To Ask Himself What It Is Suitable For Him To Do In Art.
