Famous quotes containing the words canvas and/or work:

    Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    The complexion of the element
    In favor’s like the work we have in hand,
    Most bloody-fiery, and most terrible.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
