“I hate to paint portraits! I hope never to paint another portrait in my life. Portraiture may be all right for a man in his youth, but after forty I believe that manual dexterity deserts one, and, besides, the color-sense is less acute.

I have had enough of it.” MenBelieveKindMayEnoughHateI BelieveYouthColorI HatePaintDesertFortyPortraitsInseparableHad EnoughManualsPortraitureDexterity Author:John Singer Sargent
