Lucian Freud
[German-born British Painter, 1922-2011]

Normally I underplay facial expression when painting the figure, because I want expression to emerge through the body. I used to do only heads, but came to feel that I relied too much on the face. I want the head, as it were, to be more like another limb.
| - Lucian Freud, quoted by Michael Kimmelman (found at Constable.net) |
