Notes

"Then one night, while at a symphony concert, it suddenly hit me, I thought: My God, this is so theatrical, so timeless and emotive. And, of course, so romantic. All of a sudden I was looking at the human form in a different way, and it snowballed, leading to various figure compositions."1

1. John Meyer in Brett Hilton-Barber (2003) John Mayer, Cape Town: Prime Origins in association with the Everard Read Gallery. Page 104.
