And the eye is the target, a lodestone, of these images.” BodyEyeNumbersInfiniteFilledVariousAtmosphereInstantColourTarget Book:Delphi Complete Works of Leonardo da Vinci (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Leonardo da Vinci (Illustrated)
“My work is not so overtly about movement. My horses' gestures are really quite quiet, because real horses move so much better than I could pretend to make things move. For the pieces I make, the gesture is really more within the body, it's like an internalized gesture, which is more about the content, the state of mind or of being at a given instant. And so it's more like a painting...the gesture and the movement is all pretty much contained within the body.” MindRealStatesBodyMovingGivenPiecesMovementPaintingQuietHorseInstantState Of MindGestures Author:Deborah Butterfield
“When you're on the street, and, as you're walking along, a woman turns the corner going away from you, and for an instant you have a glimpse of the side of her face, of the gesture of her shoulder, the shape of her body, and you are committed... You are in love for an instant, or your senses are rocked for an instant. That person then disappears and is lost to you forever.” PersonsBodyFacesTurnsLostSidesForeverStreetsWalkingShapesCommittedCornersDisappearSensesShouldersInstantGoing AwayGesturesGlimpseAway From You Author:Joel Meyerowitz
