Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or space:

“... we see the poor as a mass of shadow, painted in one flat grey wash, at the remote edges of our sunshine.”

“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)
