Painted Portraits

Famous quotes containing the words painted and/or portraits:

    Come gather round me players all:
    Come praise Nineteen-Sixteen,
    Those from the pit and gallery
    Or from the painted scene
    That fought in the Post Office
    Or round the City Hall....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
