Pictorial Form

Famous quotes containing the words pictorial and/or form:

“Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straightshooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

“Architecture ... the adaptation of form to resist force.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
