Resting Posture

Famous quotes containing the words resting and/or posture:

“Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

“The Dada object reflected an ironic posture before the consecrated forms of art. The surrealist object differs significantly in this respect. It stands for a mysterious relationship with the outer world established by man’s sensibility in a way that involves concrete forms in projecting the artist’s inner model.”
—J.H. Matthews. “Object Lessons,” The Imagery of Surrealism, Syracuse University Press (1977)
