Signatures Of The Soul




Jenny Saville (b. 1970) - Reverse, 2003


"The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which have become permanent."

Marcel Proust

"A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction."

Oscar Wilde

"You use a glass mirror to see your face. You use works of art to see your soul."

George Bernard Shaw

"Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?"

Pablo Picasso

"I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several."

Rainer Maria Rilke
