Famous quotes containing the word painting:

    “His work was that curious mixture of bad painting and good intentions that always entitles a man to be called a representative British artist.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Painting gives the object itself; poetry what it implies. Painting embodies what a thing contains in itself; poetry suggests what exists out of it, in any manner connected with it.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “For the bright side of the painting I had a limited sympathy. My visions were of shipwreck and famine; of death or captivity among barbarian hordes; of a lifetime dragged out in sorrow and tears, upon some gray and desolate rock, in an ocean unapproachable and unknown.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
