Follies/analysis

Famous quotes containing the words follies and/or analysis:

The pretty follies that themselves commit,
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.”

“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
