My God, I'd rather go to Europe than go to heaven.
William Merritt Chase
Image
Association with my pupils has kept me young in my work. Criticism of their work has kept my own point of view clear.

William Merritt Chase
Image
Don't try to make comparisons between your own pictures. Forget what you have done and think only of making the best of what you are doing.
William Merritt Chase
Image

William Merritt Chase
Image

William Merritt Chase
Image
