White Paintings

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or paintings:

“As if that hand
squeezing crow’s blood
against a white sky
beside an idiot’s laughing face
were real.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
