British Painter

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or painter:

“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)

“No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
