1894 – 1978 • American • Artist
I'm the oldest antique in town.
It wouldn't be right for me to clown around when I'm painting a president.
You must first spend some time getting your model to relax. Then you'll get a natural expression.
I can take a lot of pats on the back. I love it when I get admiring letters from people. And, of course, I'd love it if the critics would notice me, too.
Here in New England, the character is strong and unshakable.
A face in the picture would bother me, so I'd rub it out with the turpentine and do it over.
