When
you read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did
before.
You see more in you than there was before. |

Bartolommeo
Fazio |
A
picture is nothing but a silent poem. [15th century] |
|
Jonathan
Fineberg |
Whereas
in science one aspires to the simplest explanation of the phenomenon
under scrutiny, the whole point of art and the humanities is to
open our minds
to more alternatives and ambiguities in the way we see the
world. [Art since 1940s] |

Gustave
Flaubert |
The
time for beauty is over. |
|
Helen
Frankenthaler (1928- ) |
A
really good picture looks as if its happened at once. It's
an immediate image. |
|
Lucien
Freud |
The
picture in order to move us must never merely remind us
of life, but must acquire a life of its own. |
|
Henry
Fuseli |
Our
ideas are the offspring of our senses; we are not more able to
create the form of a being we have not seen, without retrospect
to one we know, than we are able to create a new sense. He whose
fancy has conceived an idea of the most beautiful form must have
composed it from actual existence. |
|
Henry
Fuseli |
Nature
is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each
individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a
single object. |
