“If you told me you’d found the top of the head, I am not sure I would be thrilled because I am so focused, so absorbed and captivated by the perfection of what is there, that my pleasure- and it is intense pleasure – is marveling at what my eye sees, not some abstraction that, in a more art historical mode, I might conjure up. It’s like a book that you love, and you simply don’t want to see the movie. You’ve already imagined the hero or the heroine in a certain way. In truth, with the yellow jasper lips. I have never really tried to imagine the missing parts”

by Philippe de Montebello/ Martin Gayford book of ‘Rendez-vous with Art’
