Famous quotes containing the words the painter, painter and/or model:

    “The painter ... does not fit the paints to the world. He most certainly does not fit the world to himself. He fits himself to the paint. The self is the servant who bears the paintbox and its inherited contents.”
    —Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    “The painter saw what was, an alternate
    Candor and secrecy inside the skin.”
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    “When you model yourself on people, you should try to resemble their good sides.”
    —Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
