American Sculptor

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or sculptor:

    Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.
    Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)

    The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
