Rico LeBrun, Italian-American artist and teacher (1900-1964)

“I draw and paint with one desire to bring about the forms of a human image uniquely mine. If I have a morality guiding me it is this: that the forms used must have their own kind of splendor, their own impassioned eloquence. Without this the subject is a ruse, not a theme. The human image as I see it cannot be fabricated by conceits, but may condescend, now and then, to be measured by love. Its terrain is immense.”
