-----


This is one of my early portraits, but I think it holds its interest. The Blake family donated the state where the president of the University lives. They were an extremely generous family. In my portraiture it's important to keep your interpretations of people to a minimum. You've got to butt out and let these people express themselves. Otherwise you will never get a face as pure and touching as Mrs. Anson Blake's. You can see the purity of that woman's life in this picture. It's all there; it's all up front about her.

g. Paul Bishop
