Abstract Painting

Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or painting:

    The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.
    William James (1842–1910)

    If people only knew as much about painting as I do, they would never buy my pictures.
    Edwin Landseer (1802–1873)
