Famous quotes containing the words cave and/or paintings:

“The Cave of Jeremiah is in this part. In its lamentable recesses he composed his lamentable Lamentations.”

“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
