...that in some great and wonderful flash revealed itself to me when looking at some painted contemporary portraits. What they all had in common was the fact that the way they were executed showed to me in this sudden flash that the executors' perception depended a lot on photography and photorealism...Quite a pity for I believe painting and drawing might be able to render some different perspectives than the indirect technical one of camera - but then who would really venture to have a live model nowadays anyway and even if you do what do you know about this person to portrait him/her?!...I do understand that a portrait of a person could be and is the hardest thing to achieve anyway ;)
