Famous quotes containing the words national, portrait and/or gallery:

    “The cinema is going to form the mind of England. The national conscience, the national ideals and tests of conduct, will be those of the film.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
