Catalogue Note

"Every time the model sits everything has changed. You have changed, she has changed. The light has changed, the balance has changed. The directions you try to remember are no longer there and, whether working from the model or landscape drawings, everything has to be reconstructed daily, many many times." (Leon Kossoff in Exhibition Catalogue, Venice, XLVI Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte di Venezia, 1995, p. 25)
