Summary

This quote, by Oscar Wilde, suggests that the emotions and perspectives of the artist play a significant role in how they portray someone in a portrait. Instead of merely capturing the physical features of the sitter, a truly meaningful portrait reflects the artist's emotions, thoughts, and experiences. It implies that an artist's interpretation of the subject reveals more about the artist themselves than the person being depicted. Therefore, a portrait is not just a representation of the sitter but also a reflection of the artist's inner world and unique artistic vision.

I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into many many hues. My job is not to direct anything, but only to filter into many colors. My answer is destiny and my guide is joy. And there you have me.

I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty. Here was every sensuous curve of the human figure divine but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.
