Quotes
Auguste Rodin: Character is essential truth of any natural object, whether ugly or beautiful. It is even what one might call a double truth, for it is the inner truth translated by the outer truth. It is the soul, the feelings, the ideas, expressed by the features of a face, by the gestures and actions of a human being, by the tones of a sky, by the lines of a horizon. And that which is considered ugly in nature often presents more character than that which is termed beautiful, and as it is solely the power of character which makes for beauty in art, it often happens that the uglier a being is in nature, the more beautiful it becomes in art.
