I Have Unbounded Admiration For The Nude.

There Is A Continual Exchange Of Ideas Between All Minds Of A Generation. Journalists, Popular Novelists, Illustrators, And Cartoonists Adapt The Truths Discovered By The Powerful Intellects For The Multitude. It Is Like A Spiritual Flood, Like A Gush That Pours Into Multiple Cascades Until It Forms The Great Moving Sheet Of Water That Stands For The Mentality Of A Period.

I Invent Nothing, I Rediscover.

Recently I Have Taken To Isolating Limbs, The Torso. Why Am I Blamed For It? Why Is The Head Allowed And Not Portions Of The Body? Every Part Of The Human Figure Is Expressive.

The Modes Of Expression Of Men Of Genius Differ As Much As Their Souls, And It Is Impossible To Say That In Some Among Them, Drawing And Color Are Better Or Worse Than In Others.

I Have Unbounded Admiration For The Nude. I Worship It Like A God.
