“Updike was the first to take the penile sensorium under the wing of elaborate metaphorical prose.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
