Lead/history

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or history:

“Rule of art: let half-blind purpose lead you.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
