“The private motives of scientists are not the trend of science. The trend of science is made by the needs of society: navigation before the eighteenth century, manufacture thereafter; and in our age I believe the liberation of personality.

The technical skill and visual effects of painters like Uccello have to be admired. They achieved a level of artistry that has never been surpassed, in my opinion.” ArtDifferentFormDifficultLevelsOpinionEffectsCenturyStyleMastersPerspectiveSkillsPainterExpertsVisualsArtistryTechnical SkillsIconographyVisual Effects Author:Mary Pope Osborne
