Paintings Stolen

Famous quotes containing the words paintings and/or stolen:

“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)

“They have been at a great feast of languages and stolen the scraps.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
