Actual Image

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or image:

    Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Thine eyes shall see the light of distant skies:
    Yet, Cole! thy heart shall bear to Europe’s strand
    A living image of our own bright land,
    Such as upon thy glorious canvas lies;
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
