Famous quotes containing the words decorative and/or arts:

    “A man may lack everything but tact and conviction and still be a forcible speaker; but without these nothing will avail.... Fluency, grace, logical order, and the like, are merely the decorative surface of oratory.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
    —Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)
