Famous quotes containing the words branch and/or color:
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
“But whenever the roof came white
The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
