Catalogue Note

"You can feel everything more than you need to see it. With photographs you notice that you don't even see people sometimes. There's so much else going on that you don't really know what they look like. But familiarity is the best for me, actually knowing them. And a lot of times people will say, 'These men don't look like that. There's no way they have red lips like that, and such skin.' But they do." Elizabeth Peyton
