Famous quotes containing the word paintings:

    “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)

    “the great orange bed where we lie
    like two frozen paintings in a field of poppies.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “A thousand moral paintings I can show
    That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune’s
    More pregnantly than words.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
