“When technique is obtrusive it becomes mere mannerism, a conscious striving for effect. It is only a means to an end - the manner of putting paint to paper. It hardly embraces the expressive side of painting.” MeanEndsSidesEffectsPaintingPaperConsciousEmbraceMerePaintStriveTechniqueExpressiveMeans To An EndMannerisms Author:Walter J. Phillips
“For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms. Only in space are events and objects and people unique and significant-and therefore beautiful. A tree has significance if one sees it against the empty face of sky. A note in music gains significance from the silences on either side. A candle flowers in the space of night. Even small and casual things take on significance if they are washed in space, like a few autumn grasses in one corner of an Oriental painting, the rest of the page bare.” PeopleIfsBeautifulFacesNightSidesSpaceSilenceBeautyTreeSkyEventsObjectsPaintingFlowerPagesUniqueGainsEmptyNotesCornersSignificantGrassAutumnSignificanceCandleCasualFramed Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't.

“We struggle against easel painting not because it is an aesthetic form of painting, but because it is not modern, for it does not succeed in bringing out the technical side, it is a redundant, exclusive art, and cannot be of any use to the masses. Hence we are struggling not against painting but against photography carried out as if it were an etching, a drawing, a picture in sepia or watercolor.” IfsDoeArtUseFormSidesStruggleModernPaintingSucceedPhotographyMassDrawingAestheticExclusiveRedundantWatercolorsEtching Author:Alexander Rodchenko
