Famous quotes containing the words arts and/or painting:

“If we will admit time into our thoughts at all, the mythologies, those vestiges of ancient poems, wrecks of poems, so to speak, the world’s inheritance,... these are the materials and hints for a history of the rise and progress of the race; how, from the condition of ants, it arrived at the condition of men, and arts were gradually invented. Let a thousand surmises shed some light on this story.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite—that that particular peach is but a detail.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
