Thomasin, thanks for posting this. Looks like another book I'll be reading after I get through the two art books on my night table, The Revenge of Thomas Eakins and The Judgment of Paris ,
The passage makes me think about how transparent our work really is, though we may not be able to see that in our own work. You can definitely get a pretty deep understanding of an artist by looking at his/her work. Not the kind of understanding that can be described in words, necessarily, but more like a visual image of the artist's strengths, weaknesses, fascinations, wishes, etc. It's strange to think of us baring our souls to the public but it cannot be avoided.
