Famous quotes containing the words image and/or gallery:

    “The Image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
