AFamous Portrait Painters Opinion

Famous Portrait Painters Opinion.

Of nature one should grasp and hold
fast but one thing in porraiture, the
head; that this exponent of the soul
must stand out In undisturbed unity;
that accessories Of whatever kind,
whether dress or form, must distract
and weaken. the impression that the
head should produce; that a portrait
to attain its highest aim and signifi-
cance must look out from a background
of nothingness and must be shorn Of
every detail that interferes with this
unity of purpose.-Cosmopolitan.
