Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

“A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

“A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical picture.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

“The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.”
—Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)
