“Is there in painting an effect which arises from the being together of repose and energy in the artist's mind? - can both repose and energy be seen in a painting's line and color, plane and volume, surface and depth, detail and composition? - and is the true effect of a good painting on the spectator one that makes at once for repose and energy, calmness and intensity, serenity and stir?” MindTogetherArtistEnergyLinesEffectsColorPaintingDepthDetailsSurfaceArisePlanesIntensitySerenityVolumeCompositionSpectatorsCalmnessReposeBeing Together Author:Eli Siegel
“The child's true constructive energy, a dynamic power, has remained unnoticed for thousands of years. Just as men have trodden the earth, and later tilled its surface, without thought for the immense wealth hidden in its depths, so the men of our day make progress after progress in civilized life, without noticing the treasures that lie hidden in the psychic world of infancy.” MenWorldYearsChildrenEarthLyingEnergyWealthProgressHe ManDepthSurfaceTreasureCivilizedImmensePsychicsConstructiveNoticingInfancyUnnoticed Author:Maria Montessori
