Transcendental Art Paintings

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or paintings:

“Artists are never complete people. But if it’s art that completes them, then what is taken away?”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
