'She is beautiful. The small mouth with the full painted lips! The ebony black eyes!. . . Around her I see a halo. . .of magic. At the same time her charm disturbs me. I am afraid to always will. Renée is beautiful: she is tender; she is everything I desire. I live in a dream.'
– Jacques-Henri Lartigue
