French painter, sculptor, graphic artist, ceramist and film director: "Photography requires fewer sessions than the portrait, reproduces more faithfully the likeness and costs less. The portrait painter is dying out, the genre and history painters will not die their beautiful death, but will be killed by their epoch." (Quote: FL, 1913, www.suedwestgalerie.de).
