The Nude Alone Is Well

Art Is The Pleasure Of A Spirit That Enters Nature And Discovers That It Too Has A Soul.

My Drawings Are The Result Of My Sculpture.

To The Artist There Is Never Anything Ugly In Nature

I Grant You That The Artist Does Not See Nature As She Appears To The Vulgar, Because His Emotion Reveals To Him The Hidden Truths Beneath Appearances.

In Front Of The Model I Work With The Same Will To Reproduce Truth As If I Were Making A Portrait. I Do Not Correct Nature, I Incorporate Myself Into It; It Directs Me. I Can Only Work With A Model. The Sight Of Human Forms Nourishes And Comforts Me.
