One
day when I was drawing a young girl I suddenly noticed that the only thing that was alive was her gaze. |
One does want to sculpt a living person, but what makes him alive is without a doubt his gaze. | The heads from the New Hebrides are true, are more than true, because they have a gaze. |
I saw a man's eyes follow a woman, | his anima, |
and noticed that she resembled him-- |
One sees it as if it were disappearing, coming into view again, disappearing, coming into view again-- that's to say, it really always is between being and not being. | Not the imitation of eyes, but really and truly a gaze. | In fact, one never copies anything but the vision that remains of it at each moment, the image that becomes conscious. |
