Sotheby"s London, auction on February 9, 2011, lot 122 (with illu.). "The real artist must express the whole truth of nature, not only that of the outside, but above all that of the inside. When a good sculptor models a human torso, he depicts not only the muscles, but the life that moves them.. more than life.. the force that shapes them and gives them grace or strength, gracious charm or impetuous vigor.[.] What we admire about the human body, even more than its beautiful shape, is the inner flame that seems to make it glow."
