“The Victorians have been immoderately praised, and immoderately blamed, and surely it is time we formed some reasonable picture of them? There was their courageous, intellectually adventurous side, their greedy and inhuman side, their superbly poetic side, their morally pretentious side, their tea and buttered toast side, and their champagne and Skittles side. Much like ourselves, in fact, though rather dirtier.” Has BeensFactsSidesTeaReasonableCourageousPoeticGreedyAdventurousChampagneToastsPretentiousInhumanSkittles Author:Robertson Davies
“In the early days the Cubism' method of grasping an object was to go round and round it. The Futurists declared that one had to get inside it. In my opinion the two views can be reconciled in a poetic cognition of the world. But to the very fact that they appealed to the creative depths in the painter by awakening in him hidden forces which were intuitive and vitalizing, the Futurist theories did more than the Cubist principles to open up unexplored and boundless horizons.” WorldTwoFactsForceViewsOpinionPrinciplesCreativeObjectsTheoryMethodDepthRoundsAwakeningPainterPoeticHorizonIntuitiveBoundlessCognitionGraspingUnexploredFuturist Author:Gino Severini
