In a word, the man is everywhere independent, sincere, with sure vision, a decisive note that can sometimes be a little brutal...While being perfectly healthy he has the "neurosis" of truthfulness...The man who has measured with a compass the buttons on a uniform from the time of Frederick, when it is a matter of depicting a modern shoe, waistcoat, or coiffure, does not make them by approximations but totally, in their absolute form and without smallness of means. He puts there everything that is called for by the character (of the object). Free, large, and rapid in his drawing, no draftsman is as "definitive" as he.
