portrait quotes, self portrait quotes.






1. “Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.”

2. “The countenance is the portrait of the mind, the eyes are its informers”

3. “I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.”

4. “A photograph is a portrait painted by the sun”

5. “Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself”

6. “Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence.''”

7. “Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything.”

8.“Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or anything else, is always a portrait of himself, and the more he tries to conceal himself the more clearly will his character appear in spite of him.”

9. “When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg.”

10. “I would rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world”
