Those who helped the painters usually vanish, afterward, into the backgrounds of the pictures.

For him colour was not a feeling but a working hypothesis. He needed a place to test it.

For two years they lived together — and of the inner detail of that time, almost no one has since spoken at length.

Here he learned to let light scatter — and then he set out to find a stronger light.

He was not searching for who he was; he was using his own face to do something technical.

He went to Arles because he believed it was the place he had seen in the prints.
