So far I have only spoken of general physical aspects
and the inner movement behind them. But the details
which give final expression to shape are of equal
importance: the lips, the nose, eyebrows, the socket of
the eye and the eyelashes and eyelids hinting at a deep,
limpid gaze, finally the delicate surface of a woman's
cheek caressed by light. These shapes are simple,
essential and clear. They give final living presence to
the sculpted face. The moving reality which lives in the
artist's heart is given full expression and appears simple
and direct in its essence; the final achievement of the
sculptor hides from our eyes the manifold efforts and
development which preceded it. ■
