French Sculptor

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or sculptor:

    Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure
    When with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
