Abstract Painting

Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or painting:

“All abstract sciences are nothing but the study of relations between signs.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

“It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
