"Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror or the painter?"- Pablo Picasso
And I recently found this quote taken from prominent product designer a long time ago when I was working as a designer for a large manufacturing company and kept it on my desk for many years. I referred to it often when I had to deal with customers or marketing types who were usually adverse to change. Though it was meant for commercial artists, it could apply to our craft as well.
"To remain uncompromisingly sensitive in the artist's way; to adhere uncompromisingly to aesthetic conviction; to do this as an instrument for the fulfillment of the aims of those who do not understand them, places almost superhuman demands upon creativity. Yet this is what the commercial artist who remains an artist has, uncompromisingly, to do."
