Body Quote by James Elkins
“Paint records the most delicate gesture and the most tense. It tells whether the painter sat or stood or crouched in front of the canvas. Paint is a cast made of the painter's movements, a portrait of the painter's body and thoughts.”
![“In effect, painting is the still memory of [the artist's] human motion, and our individual responses to it depend on who we are, on our character, which underlines the simple truth that no person leaves himself behind in order to look at a painting.” quote by Siri Hustvedt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d66/siri-hustvedt-860_art_in-effect-painting-is-the-still-memory-o_3044685.jpg)

![“I've used the Phoenix Centrifuge to replicate what the body's going to go through on the flight up.
