The Only Real Influence I've Ever Had

I Use A Retouching Varnish Which Is Made In France, Libert, And That's All The Varnish I Use.

The Only Quality That Endures In Art Is A Personal Vision Of The World. Methods Are Transient: Personality Is Enduring.

So Much Of Every Art Is An Expression Of The Subconscious That It Seems To Me Most Of All The Important Qualities Are Put There Unconsciously, And Little Of Importance By The Conscious Intellect. But These Are Things For The Psychologist To Untangle.

Everyone Goes To The 'grands-boulevards' (in Paris, Ed.) And Let Himself Loose... ...do Not Picture These In Costume, They Are Not For The Most Part... ...perhaps A Clown With A Big Nose, Or Two Girls With Bare Necks And Short Skirts... ...the Parade Of The Queens Of The Halls (markets) Is Also One Of The Events... ...some Are Pretty But Look Awkward In Their Silk Dresses And Crowns, Particularly As The Broad Sun Displays Their Defects - Perhaps A Neck Too Thin Or A Painted Face Which Shows Ghastley White In The Sunlight.
