Famous quotes containing the words finishing and/or order:
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
“They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
