Primal Space

Famous quotes containing the words primal and/or space:

“Poetry, that is to say the poetic, is a primal necessity.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

“The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
