"To be a true animal artist, it is not enough to love an animal and to observe its mental behaviour and external appearance attentively. You have to know its morphology inside out. From then on everything is legible, clear, very clear, even if the animals move or perform violent exercises. So, obviously, you have to know their anatomy inside out.
Georges-Lucien Guyot
