If I had been around when Rubens was painting, I would have been revered as a fabulous model. Kate Moss? Well, she would have been the paintbrush.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What a model of an artist was for me was an artist who worked. Picasso was the ultimate model, because the work ethic he had.
Kate Moss makes you dream. She has such a passion for art and the creative process.
I thought it would be very nice to become Picasso or Rembrandt, or a van Gogh.
Kate Moss is the best thing since Jean Shrimpton, really.
I had the serendipity of modeling during a temporary interlude between Twiggy and Kate Moss, when it was actually okay for women to look as if we ate and enjoyed life.
When I see Kate Moss out and about, I think she looks more beautiful than when her hairdresser and make-up artist try and make her look like something else. And I remember when Madonna first asked Versace to book me to shoot a campaign with her, she came to see me wearing hardly any make-up, and she looked incredible.
Most artists never get a chance to be Picasso, but that doesn't mean you would stop painting.
People say, 'Oh, to be the daughter of Picasso!' But it's not as extravagant as it seems. He was very special, very vibrant, but he was my father. I didn't have another.
If they were starting their careers today, Rockwell and Picasso would probably both be painting on black velvet.
I've always loved those portraits that Alfred Stieglitz did of Georgia O'Keeffe over several years, which really convey the idea that there's not one image that can capture a woman, because we're changing all the time.
