Paintings Including

Famous quotes containing the words paintings and/or including:

“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)

“Optimism. The doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
