Quotes

  • At the first time I took up the subject... it seemed to open up fresh vistas and certainly gave new interest to the study of the undraped figure to depict it with pure daylight upon it, instead of the artificial light of the studio. Besides as a matter of personal taste, I much prefer working in the open to the close air of a room.
  • But I always return to my first opinion, that the truth and beauty of flesh in sunlight by the sea, is offered to you in a way impossible to secure in pictures built up from hasty sketches, at leisure, in one's studio. Because however much you may work indoors afterwards, whatever you add is with the outdoor impression upon you.
