I know that sometimes we have no choice, and there have been many a fine painting of bunches of people, but I am much prejudiced toward the individual portrait.

When you have an "individual" in front of you there is a simple direct communication that takes place, whether they are being painted or photographed, that you can't create when another person is added to the mix. There is something pure about the individual portrait.
