Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or details:

    “The best work of artists in any age is the work of innocence liberated by technical knowledge. The laboratory experiments that led to the theory of pure color equipped the impressionists to paint nature as if it had only just been created.”
    —Nancy Hale (b. 1908)

    “Then he told the news media
    the strange details of his death
    and they hammered him up in the marketplace
    and sold him and sold him and sold him.
    My death the same.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
