Cultural Synthesis

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or synthesis:

“The personal appropriation of clichés is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)

“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)
