Rear Element

Famous quotes containing the words rear and/or element:

    It is not easy to free
    myth from reality
    or rear this fellow up
    to lutch, lurch with them
    in the tranced dancing of men.
    Earle Birney (b. 1904)

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
