Famous quotes containing the words faulkner and/or criticism:
“It feels almost soft, like something to be caressed. Only gold feels that way.”

“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
