Transcendental Art Paintings

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or paintings:

“Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“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)
