Famous quotes containing the words master and/or paintings:
“No master spirit, no determined road;
But equally a want of books and men!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“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)
