Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or man:
“Toms great yellow bronze mask all draped upon an iron framework. An inhibited, nerve-drawn; dropped faceas if hung on a scaffold of heavy private brooding; & thought.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
“The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.”
—Benjamin Haydon (17861846)
