Portrait Quote

"The greatest portraits are not always the most accurate ones and certainly are not the most photographic.  They are first and foremost works of art designed through a process of selection, emphasis, and subordination.  The portrait is ultimately valued for its aesthetic merits and its insights into the psyche of the sitter, and it is appreciated and collected even by those who do (or did, as the case may be) not know the subject." Juliette Aristides
