Empathy and intensity have become the qualities I respond to most in art, all the other formal means simply get one there with ones own 'handwriting'. Great artists who are maddeningly intense and who capture souls of others have often also turned on themselves or toward themselves and made memorable self-images, ie. Rembrandt, Kollwitz, Van Gogh, Hodler, Schiele, Gillespie and L. Freud. So ... why not me, too, turning my eyes onto my eyes?
