“For the machine meant the conquest of horizontal space. It also meant a sense of that space which few people had experienced before – the succession and superimposition of views, the unfolding of landscape in flickering surfaces as one was carried swiftly past it, and an exaggerated feeling of relative motion (the poplars nearby seeming to move faster than the church spire across the field) due to parallax. The view from the train was not the view from the horse. It compressed more motifs into the same time. Conversely, it left less time in which to dwell on any one thing.” PeopleFeelingsPastMovingLeftChurchSpaceViewsOne ThingFieldsMachinesHorseTrainDuesSurfaceFasterLandscapeRelativeConquestSuccessionUnfoldingSeemingExaggeratedHorizontalMotifsSpires Author:Robert Hughes
“You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. The horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. Things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... Machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.” PeopleWayHumansMayFeelingsCertainEnvironmentOur LivesCarElementsMachinesHorseNeglect Author:Albert Einstein
“When a horse falls, foam comes out of its mouth. When it falls, the legs of the horse thrash and the horse is no good... So somebody shoots it. The horse turns into glue. A machine puts the glue into bottles and children squeeze the bottles to get the glue out and stick bits of paper onto cards. Glue gets on the children's hands and the children eat the glue. And the children become the horse.” ChildrenHandsTurnsFallBitsPaperMouthsMachinesHorseSticksLegsCardsBottlesGlueFoam Author:Maureen Medved
