Winter Painting

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or painting:

    Over the winter glaciers,
    I see the summer glow,
    And, through the wild-piled snowdrift,
    The warm rosebuds below.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When van Gogh paints sunflowers, he reveals, or achieves, the vivid relation between himself, as man, and the sunflower, as sunflower, at that quick moment of time. His painting does not represent the sunflower itself. We shall never know what the sunflower itself is. And the camera will visualize the sunflower far more perfectly than van Gogh can.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
