Famous quotes containing the words selections from the, selections from, selections, permanent, collection and/or paintings:

    “Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist.... In relation to the inclusiveness and literally endless intricacy of life, art is arbitrary, symbolic and abstracted. That is its value and the source of its own kind of order and coherence.”
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    “It was hard for an American to understand the contented acceptance by English men and women of permanent places in the lowest social rank.”
    —Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)

    “Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
    —Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    “the great orange bed where we lie
    like two frozen paintings in a field of poppies.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
