Traditional Account

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or account:

“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)

“Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
