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)

    “One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.”
    —Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)
