Famous quotes containing the word called:

    “His work was that curious mixture of bad painting and good intentions that always entitles a man to be called a representative British artist.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “For a painter, the Mecca of the world, for study, for inspiration and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it, no wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you can’t paint in Paris, you’d better give up and marry the boss’s daughter.”
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
