Simple test

For any artists that believes in the worth and power of memory in painting it's simple; paint someone you know well from memory -- then paint that person while looking at them -- see which painting you like best.

Surely no one thinks Mr. Lack painted that clock or that man featured in the painting (included in the interview) from memory? It's important that artists understand where the important stuff lies. The painting from memory or the painting of souls is best left to the poets.
