Famous quotes containing the words presenting, view and/or art:
“Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact. Every appearance in nature corresponds to some state of the mind, and that state of the mind can only be described by presenting that natural appearance as its picture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“On Hellespont guiltie of True-loves blood,
In view and opposit two citties stood,
Seaborders, disjoin’d by Neptunes might:
The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
