Famous quotes containing the word paintings:

    “It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “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)

    “the great orange bed where we lie
    like two frozen paintings in a field of poppies.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
