Portrait - interesting quotes..."But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid.…" - Oscar Wilde "every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter." - Oscar Wilde "Portrait axiom: Every portrait has the face of its painter"- Leonid Sukhorukov "The picture is a portrait painted by the sun" - unknown "When you start with a portrait and search for a pure form, a clear volume, through successive eliminations, you arrive inevitably at the egg. Likewise, starting with the egg and following the same process in reverse, one finishes with the portrait." - Pablo Picasso "The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt." - Henri Cartier Bresson "In the business of portrait photography, one must combine the artist and the craftsman" - Louis Fabian Bachrach "There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk" - Charles Dickens
