Copy
Architect Dietrich Zlomke was born in Koenigsberg. He was commissioned to design a memorial to the dead of East and West Prussia in the two world wars, which was dedicated at Oberschleissheim near Munich in 1995. His choice of design was a miniature copy of the Tannenberg Memorial in concrete, dominated in the centre by an oak cross twenty feet high and a smaller iron cross on the pale wall at the rear.

Famous quotes containing the word copy:
“Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He’s convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“This made you first to know the Why
You liked, then after to apply
That liking; and approach so one the tother,
Till either grew a portion of the other;
Each styled by his end,
The copy of his friend.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Quotations—always inexact. I don’t trust people who cannot even copy out.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
