Joshua Ramos’s Reviews > The Picture of Dorian Gray > Status Update

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not the
sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not the who
is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the colored
canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is
that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."
