Famous quotes containing the words mimics and/or process:

    “It is the simplest relation of phenomena, and describes the commonest sensations with more truth than science does, and the latter at a distance slowly mimics its style and methods.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
