Abstract Painting

Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or painting:

Of private experience at its greatest intensity
Becoming universal, which we call “poetry,”
May be affirmed in verse.”

“Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.”
